This is the second study of lectin and mucilage detection in Labiatae nutlets from
Colombia. It was carried out on 31 taxa belonging to 7 genera in which no previous
studies have been carried out in this field. A differential response was observed
in the group of genera and species studied in terms of mucilage presence as well
as lectin activity which consistently increased following extract treatment with
Pectinex. Lectin activity was detected in 28 species, being important (greater than
60% activity) in at least 75% of them. Genera such as Hyptis, Scutellaria, Aegiphila
and Lepechinia, whilst not presenting mucilage, did present lectin activity, having
high activity in most cases. By contrast, Salvia (in all sections studied) presented
mucilage and important lectin activity.
