glükosiid
Usage examples
  • Drooge (v.a marju) ei tohi kuivatada otseses päikesevalguses, vaid selleks ette nähtud ruumis. Eeterlikku õli sisaldavaid drooge on soovitatav kuivatada temperatuuril 30– 40 °C ning 10–15 cm paksuse kihina, tugevatoimelisi aineid sisaldavaid drooge (alkaloidid, glükosiidid) temperatuuril 50 °C ning teisi drooge temperatuuril 40– 60 °C.
glycoside
Usage examples
  • Glycosides are widely distributed in plants; examples are the anthocyanin pigments and the cardiac glycosides, such as digoxin and ouabain, which are used medicinally for their stimulant effects on the heart.
Good to know
  • The term "glucoside" was formerly used to designate "glycosides", but now it refers to any glycoside having glucose as its sugar constituent.
