Variation in the alkaloid content of different subspecies of Chamaecytisus proliferus from the Canary Islands

The composition and content of alkaloids in different subspecies of Chamaecytisus proliferus from diverse locations in the Canary Islands, was studied using thin-layer chromatography and capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results obtained showed that sparteine was the main alkaloid in all samples studied. The sparteine content ranged from 0.06% in the ssp proliferus var. palmensis to 0.77% in the ssp meridionalis. Therefore, by breeding, the subspecies with the lower alkaloid content, could produce plants more suitable for use as animal food, whilst those with a high alkaloid content could be used as a natural source of sparteine.
