Abstract :

The Halophytic plant of Ashanan With Scientific name Seidlitzia rosmarinous From the Chenopodiceae family, Plant with applications in various industries Which often grow in saline and alkaline areas, deserts and salt marsh as indigenous and adapted species. In the present study plant of ashnan Using three solvents, ethanol, methanol and water were extracted by Soxhlet method, Then, the ethanolic extract was examined phytochemically. In order to identify the chemical compounds and elements available in the plant Respectively, GC / MS analysis was performed on methanol extract and EDS analysis on Ashnan powder. also, the content of some of the early metabolites, such as protein, fiber and carbohydrate, was measured in plant powder. Finally, its antioxidant activity was evaluated using the ABTS test. the highest Weighted Efficiency was related to water solvent extraction. Phytochemical studies revealed the presence of alkaloids compounds, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids and glycosides, and the absence of terpenoids. The GC / MSS analysis showed the presence of 51 chemical compounds, and the EDS analysis showed the presence of 8 elements in the plant. The most antioxidant activity is in the ethanolic extract. Based on the results Ashnan plant can be a natural antioxidant, In Sanitary, medicine and food industries. Also, the presence of sodium, chlorine and calcium elements in the plant indicates saltiness of the Ashnan plant. It can be very important to manage environmental problems and cultivate in saline soils.
