Abstract

Saffron flower on different stages of its physiological development contains important biologically active compounds (including: protocrocine, picrocrocine, crocine, safranal), which can affect on human organism and it is important to use saffron in food technologies. Use of saffron in folk medicine has a huge background. It was used to cure around 70 illness and what is the most important, it was used to prevent and treat heart diseases. This effect is typical for safranal, which is synthesized and accumulated during the flower drying process. In this article the following issues are discussed: the process of safranal extraction, optimal conditions of this process and the results of extract analysis.
