In the present study the phenolic composition of leaves, stalks, and textile fiber extracts from
Urtica dioica L. is described. Taking into account the increasing demand for textile products
made from natural fibers and the necessity to create sustainable “local” processing chains,
an Italian project was funded to evaluate the cultivation of nettle fibers in the region of
Tuscany. The leaves of two nettle samples, cultivated and wild (C and W), contain large
amounts of chlorogenic and 2-O-caffeoylmalic acid, which represent 71.5 and 76.5% of total …
In the present study the phenolic composition of leaves, stalks, and textile fiber extracts from Urtica dioica L. is described. Taking into account the increasing demand for textile products made from natural fibers and the necessity to create sustainable “local” processing chains, an Italian project was funded to evaluate the cultivation of nettle fibers in the region of Tuscany. The leaves of two nettle samples, cultivated and wild (C and W), contain large amounts of chlorogenic and 2-O-caffeoylmalic acid, which represent 71.5 and 76.5% of total phenolics, respectively. Flavonoids are the main class in the stalks: 54.4% of total phenolics in C and 31.2% in W samples. Anthocyanins are second in quantitative importance and are present only in nettle stalks: 28.6% of total phenolics in C and 24.4% in W extracts. Characterization of phenolic compounds in nettle extracts is an important result with regard to the biological properties (antioxidant and antiradical) of these metabolites for their possible applications in various industrial activities, such as food/feed, cosmetics, phytomedicine, and textiles.
