Phenolic compounds of Rumex acetosella L. collected from two different regions of Iğdır province (Türkiye)

This investigation examines the phenolic profile of Rumex acetosella L. harvested from two disparate locales within Iğdır Province, Türkiye, aimed at evaluating the impact of different locations on phenolic compounds. Employing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), a total of 19 phenolic constituents, including chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rutin, and naringin, were both identified and quantified. Crucial regional variations were identified, with Hoşhaber presenting higher levels of chlorogenic acid, rutin, and naringin in comparison to Karakuyu. However, caffeic acid was found to be more prevalent in the Karakuyu region. Certain compounds, notably vanillin and p-coumaric acid, were exclusively identified in Hoşhaber. These results substantiate the premise that environmental determinants, encompassing soil composition and climatic conditions, significantly influence phenolic biosynthesis.
