Description
Summary:Maranta and Thalia species (Marantaceae, Zingiberales) were shown for the first time to contain rosmarinic acid. Furthermore chlorogenic acid and rutin were detected in Marantaceae species. ▪ In a survey of the higher plants for families with rosmarinic acid-accumulating species we could show for the first time, that some species of the family Marantaceae of the order Zingiberales accumulate rosmarinic acid. Other compounds detected in Marantaceae are chlorogenic acid and rutin (quercetin 3- O-rutinoside). Out of 35 species coming from 9 different genera extracted and analysed, two species of Maranta ( Maranta leuconeura, Maranta depressa) and one Thalia species ( Thalia geniculata) showed the presence of rosmarinic acid. The two Maranta species additionally contained chlorogenic acid, which was also present in Stromanthe amabilis. Rutin was detected in the genera Calathea, Ctenanthe, Maranta, Pleiostachya and Thalia. For a comparison, species from six other families of the Zingiberales were analysed as well.
