“…Cutting of RCG every second week produced a sharp increase in indole alkaloid levels, as compared with levels in free growth tissue (Woods and Clark 1971). Alkaloid concentration is greatly reduced in dried grass (Donker et al 1976) and in silage (Hovin et al 1980). Alkaloids are secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities (Steppuhn et al 2004).…”

The use of natural compounds derived from agricultural crops and other plants as health promoting chemicals gains tremendous growing interest in various industrial sectors as well as among people worldwide. These chemicals have been more and more employed by the food industry as food additives, functional food ingredients, nutraceuticals, by feedstuffs industry, but also by the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The general idea for this interest is to use natural products as potential alternatives to synthetic chemicals. On the other hand, some plants characterized by high yield and being used as energy crops also contained significant amount of bioactive compounds. This review focuses on the wide spectrum of the phytochemicals present in available biomass plants. It is supposed that extraction of bioactive chemicals from energy crops before their energetic use may increase economical effectiveness, providing simultaneously a double benefit in the form of phytochemicals and bioenergy as value added products. This remains in line with bioeconomy, which is defined by European Commission as ''the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy''. However, the issue is still a challenging effort due to the high costs, technology readiness and regulatory hurdles.

“…WIR 37452 with the highest mean, 0.2312 and h2 = 0.40). HOVIN et al (1980) have shown that the alkaloid mean concentration is generally higher when a material is grown in Minnesota, USA, as compared to growth in the coastal area of Norway, probably because of the more humid climate and thus less moisture stress in Western Norway. Taking that fact into consideration, the heritability estimates in this material are quite high.…”

“…The six Norwegian populations have been analyzed for alkaloid type by HOVIN et al (1980), with somewhat divergent results in the two studies. The disagreement between the two studies might be attributed to the relatively small number of genotypes analyzed by HOVIN et al (I.c.…”
