Alternative language

  • Project name in Czech

    Hledání nových zdrojů biologicky aktivních karotenoidů z méně známých rostlinných druhů.

  • Annotation in Czech

    Cílem projektu je zjistit informace o nutričním potenciálu co nejvíce druhů kapradin rostoucích v našich klimatických podmínkách. Projekt bude zaměřen zejména na obsah α a γ-tokoferolu, α a β-karotenu, xantofylových pigmentů, kyseliny askorbové a mastných kyselin. Dalším cílem bude stanovení biologické aktivity získaných druhů kapradin, zejména antioxidační kapacitu a schopnost testovaných vzorků inhibovat prozánětlivé enzymy cyklooxygenázu-1 (COX-1), cyklooxygenázu-2 (COX-2) a 5-lipoxygenázu (5-LOX). Dalším důležitým cílem projektu bude mikropropagace vybraných (přednostně ohrožených) druhů kapradin pomocí in vitro kultivační technologie rostlinných tkáňových kultur.

  • Project results evaluation

    The results of the project prove that ferns are suitable alternative green leave vegetable. Ferns are important source of antioxidants, have a comparable content of vitamin C with other green leave vegetable, and have a favourable proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Ferns are also a promising source of selective COX-1 inhibitors and anticancer agents.
