The purpose of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and fructans content in ethanol and water extracts of roots of elecampane (Inula helenium L.), a Bulgarian medicinal plant. The extraction procedure included 95% (v/v) ethanol extraction and subsequent water treatment. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by several reliable methods such as DPPH-, ABTS-, FRAP- and CUPRAC-assays, as well as the total phenolic content. In addition, the total fructans and sugar content…

Anti-urease, total phenolic content and antioxidant activities of some Inula l. (Asteraceae) taxa in Turkey

TLDR
Results obtained from this study demonstrate that Inula species might be utilized as a probable natural source in the pharmaceutical and food industries but further and more specific studies are needed to determine active antioxidative and anti-urease compounds in the extracts.

Biological Activities and Chemical Profile of Gentiana asclepiadea and Inula helenium Ethanolic Extracts

TLDR
The results pointed out important constituents such as secoiridoid glycoside, phenolic acids, and flavonoids and promising antioxidant properties of ethanolic extracts obtained from Gentiana asclepiadea L. roots that support the ethnomedicinal recommendations of these species and highlight them as valuable sources of bioactive compounds.

EVALUATION OF FRUCTAN CONTENTS IN THE TAPROOTS OF PLANTS LACTUCA SERRIOLA L. AND SONCHUS OLERACEUS L.

TLDR
The roots of two widespread plants in Bulgariaprickly lettuce and annual sow thistle are evaluated as a source of inulin-type fructans as the fructoligosacharides fraction dominates in ethanolic extracts to conclude that the roots are rich source of fructan.

Evaluation of Bulgarian medicinal plants as a potential source of inulin-type prebiotics.

TLDR
It has been found that the amounts of fructooligosaccharides and inulin were the highest in roots of the plants collected in the autumn season as in taproots of common chicory and up to 34 g/100 g d.w in dandelion roots, respectively.

Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Total Phenolic Compounds from Inula helenium

TLDR
The results showed that high amounts of phenolic compounds can be extracted from I. helenium by ultrasound-assisted extraction technology.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of alantolactone and isoalantolactone from Inula helenium roots

TLDR
Comparison with classical extraction methods showed that the amounts of alantolactone and isoalantlactone achieved by UAE with 70 and 96% EtOH for 30 min at room temperature were higher or almost equal to those obtained by maceration for 24 hours.
