“…A literature review showed that there is no previous report on the chemical constituents of A. persica essential oil. Previous studies conducted on other Alchemilla species showed that Z-3-hexenol, linalool, α-terpineol and nonanal are the main volatile constituents [23,24]. These components were not detected in our examined oil.…”

Phytochemical investigations of Alchemilla persica Rothm. growing in Iran were performed taking into account both the volatile and polar constituents. The hydrodistilled essential oil was analysed by GC-MS that revealed the presence of alkanes (27.8%), diterpenoids (19.6 %) and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (17.1%) as the major constituents, while tannins and flavonol glycosides were identified as the most abundant constituents of the methanol extract by HPLC-MS. A. persica can be a valuable source of ellagitannins and polyphenols.

“…The CH 4 ‐mitigating properties of HT have been previously demonstrated 36. However, it should be noted that A. xanthochlora contains several classes of essential oils37 which also may influence CH 4 production in the rumen 38. In addition, H. hedysaroides contained relatively high amounts of TP but with this plant, total gas production rather than the relative proportion of CH 4 was reduced.…”

“…One pasture was largely dominated by Trifolium alpinum, from a genus rich in polyphenolic compounds [39]. The other pasture was rich both in high-forage quality species (Festuca nigrescens, Phleum alpinum, and Trifolium repens) and in other species, such as Alchemilla xanthochlora and Polygonum bistorta, belonging to families with high PSM content [18,31,38].…”

-The aim of this study was to verify the variation in fatty acid composition of milk, and derived cheese, when dairy cows were grazed on different alpine vegetation types. An experimental design was developed to highlight the effect of pasture composition on milk and cheese fatty acid profiles, thereby mitigating the other variables (altitude, animal physiology, and animal management). Two dairy cow groups were grazed on two different key alpine vegetation types (Type 1: Trifolium alpinum, Nardus stricta, and Carex sempervirens and Type 2: Festuca nigrescens, Alchemilla xanthochlora, and Phleum alpinum). Bulk milk was collected separately from each group for 6 days, from which 12 artisanal cheeses were produced and ripened for 60 days. The fatty acid (FA) composition of the bulk milks and cheeses varied with the type of vegetation. Milk and cheese derived from cows that were grazed on Trifolium alpinum-dominated pastures were richer in long-chain FAs, unsaturated and monounsaturated FAs (particularly oleic acid), and odd-chain saturated FAs (such as C15:0 pentadecanoic and C17:0 heptadecanoic acids) while those from Festuca nigrescens pastures contained more short-and medium-chain FAs, saturated FAs, and α-linolenic acid. Furthermore, our results showed that in alpine grazing systems, milk and cheese FA profiles changed when cows were grazed on pastures with a different botanical composition, probably due to differences in forage quality and concentration of bioactive secondary metabolites. These results have to be taken into account for the valorization of the nutritional characteristics and for the traceability of grass-fed dairy products.fatty acid / milk / cheese / grassland biodiversity / alpine pasture / grazing acide gras / lait / fromage / biodiversité des pâtures / pâture alpine / pâturage
