The invention refers to standardized
plant extract from
biomass of
in vitro cultures of Haberlea rhodopensis Friv. (HR), containing bioactive compounds and their primary secondary metabolites, containing in weight %, as follows:
organic acid from 4.0 to 6.0, fatty acids from 0.5 to 1.5, amino acids from 8.0 to 12.0, sterols from 0.5 to 1.0, free
phenols from 3.0 to 6.0, sugars from 45 to 55, and polyphenols from 25.0 to 35.0, with a predominant myconoside content of 70% to 96% in the polyphenolic fraction, constituting 18% to 35% of the total extract, and to a composition containing the standardized extract and
glycerol as well as to a method for the preparation of a standardized
plant extract.The method according this invention, along with its optimally chosen steps, specific conditions, parameters such as temperature, duration, stirring, light, growth factors, etc. achieves both maximum volumetric productivity of the target substances and myconoside, as well as stable productivity of the
plant in vitro cultures and is a reliable efficient 24 / 7 continuous
system for production of NPs.Dependence on natural factors, limited availability and protection of HR rare wild plant populations are eliminated. The limitations posed by
seasonality and slow HR growth are also avoided by developing a renewable, ecologically method. The developed method provides alternative, renewable and sustainable sources of raw plant material necessary to obtain the target extract. The resulting extract standardized in myconoside is especially valuable with its protective action on
human health and can successfully be used with its pharmacological, cosmetic effects as well as in functional foods.
