IDENTIFICATION RESULTS OF ORGANIC COMPONENTS IN GRASS TRIFOLIUM PRETENSE L
Red clover is one of the most important forage crops and in this regard, to study its chemical composition is a topical. The article presents the identification results of organic components in samples of red clover grass (Trifolium pretense L.), taken in the mountain part in the territory of FSI “North Ossetian State Experimental Hunting Farm”. Identification of biologically active substances was performed on a quadrupole chromato-mass spectrograph “Agilent Technolog” 5860/5973, using ethanol (96%) extracts in relation 1:10 (raw material: extractant). It is established that the green mass of red clover contains the following biologically active substances: acids, ethyl ether of heptadecanoic acid, fitol, ethyl ether of octadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ether of linoleic acid, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid, ethyl ether of 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ether of octadecanoic acid, lupeol (triterpene saponin).The fat composition of red clover grass is represented with saturated and unsaturated fatty acids: hexadecanoic, linoleic as well as 9,12-octadecadienoic acid. The green red clover mass synthesizes fatty acids esters: hexadecanoic acid ether, heptadecanoic acid ether, octadecatrienoic acid ether, linoleic acid ether, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid ether, octadecanoic acid ether.
