Popis: The aim of this study was profiling of primary metabolites of five Bulgarian Fumaria species (F. officinalis L., F. thuretii Boiss., F. kralikii Jord., F. rostellata Knaf. and F. schrammii Velen.) by GC-MS analyses. In polar fractions ten carbohydrates, one polyol, ten amino acids and six organic acids were identified. Apolar (lipid) fractions showed the presence of four free fatty acids, two esters of fatty acids with glycerol and two fatty alcohols. Sucrose and fructose were in the highest relative concentrations of identified carbohydrates. Citric acid was the dominant organic acid in polar fractions of five Fumaria species. Predominant compounds in lipid fractions were palmitic acid and 1-stearoyl-glycerol. Principal component analysis (PCA) of GC-MS data of polar and apolar fractions of five Bulgarian Fumaria species differentiates them in two groups (F. officinalis and F. thuretii; F. rostellata and F. schrammii, respectively), while F. kralikii had phythochemical similarity with plants of both distinguished groups. The obtained results of PCA of primary metabolites could be proposed as chemotaxonomic markers for plants of the genus Fumaria.
