Sažetak
Silybum marianum (family:Compositae) has been known since ancient times and recommended in traditional medicine. Though the whole plant is useful, the seeds are most prized for their medicinal action where the active constituent, silymarin, is found in highest concentration. Silymarin encourage liver cell renewal and repair, and may also protect against hepatotoxic agents. It also has the ability to reverse toxic liver damage, most notably from eating the wrong kind of mushrooms. A fruit of S. marianum contains a relatively high amount of oil, which makes one step extraction of silymarin from seeds impossible. Oil has to be removed from seeds prior to the extraction of silymarin and is a by-product of silymarin production. This oil contains essential phospholipids and a relatively high content of vitamin E. It is therefore of interest as a natural source of vitamin E. Milk thistle seeds contains up to 6 percent silymarin, a mixture of flavonolignans, of which silybin is the main constituent, with smaller amounts of silydianin and silychristin. The primary investigation focus has been on silybinin (also called silybin, silibin or silibinin), which is the most biologically active. A number of other flavonolignans have also been found in the seeds including dehydrosilybin, desoxysilycristin, desoxysilydianin, silandrin, silybinome, silyhermin and neosilyhermin. The aim of our work was to find the best extraction solvent and condition for isolation of oil and the silymarine from the seeds of Silybum marianum.
