Sažetak
Barks of seven Rhamnus L. and two Frangula Mill. species growing in Croatia were investigated in order to determine the content of biologically active compounds. All taxa tested had a high content of total polyphenols (from 2.68% in R. orbiculata to 8.50% in R. pumila), medium content of glucofrangulins (from 0.22% in R. pumila to 9.26% in R. fallax), nontannic polyphenols (from 0.73% in R. orbiculata to 5.92% in F. alnus) and tannins (from 1.10% in R. saxatilis to 4.92% in R. alaternus) and a rather low content of phenolic acids (from 0.44% in R. orbiculata to 1.81% in R. intermedia) and flavonoids (from 0.02% in F. alnus to 1.44% in R. pumila). ANOVA showed the most variability for content of glucofrangulins, less for content of flavonoids, phenolic acids and nontannic polyphenols, and the least for content of total polyphenols and tannins.
