Abstract
From aqueous extracts of leaves, stems and flowers of several Alstroemeria species and hybrids the content of the allergenic tuliposides and tulipalin A were determined by isocratic Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC). The allergens were found in all genotypes investigated, although in very different amounts.
Also a large genotypic variation was found in some species and hybrids, with respect to the content of tuliposides.
The highest concentrations of tuliposides were found in stems and flowers, whereas tulipalin A is mainly present in flowers.
The possibility to breed new Alstroemeria cultivars which are less allergenic than the common cultivars is discussed.
