orgaaniline ühend, milles mingi mono- või disahhariid (harilikult glükoos) on hapniku, lämmastiku või väävli aatomi abil seotud mittesahhariidiga või monosahhariidiga
any one of a group of compounds consisting of a pyranose sugar residue, such as glucose, linked to a noncarbohydrate residue (R) by a glycosidic bond: the hydroxyl group (–OH) on carbon-1 of the sugar is replaced by –OR
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.
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.
Hea teada
The term "glucoside" was formerly used to designate "glycosides", but now it refers to any glycoside having glucose as its sugar constituent.
