Abstract

This study aimed to determine the total content of phenolic compounds in different parts of the Eryngium maritimum plant (Sea Holly), which grows on sandy and rocky beaches of the Sports City shore in Lattakia, Syria, during the autumn season. The phenolic content of each plant part was quantified using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The total percentage of polyphenols ranged from 3.44% to 17.69%. The results revealed that the roots contained the highest content of phenolic compounds in the methanol extracts compared to other parts of the Sea Holly plant, followed by fruits, leaves, seeds, and stems. Chlorogenic acid was found to have the highest percentage of phenolic content in the plant parts. This research highlights the medicinal importance of Eryngium maritimum due to its richness in various phenolic and flavonoid compounds of medicinal and pharmaceutical significance.
