Wild cyclamen tubers (Cyclamen purpurascens Mill.) (Kukavica mountain, southeast Serbia) was used as an extraction material in this study. The aqueous extract has been obtained by reflux extraction at the boiling temperature with hydromodulus 1:20 m/v during 180 minutes. The identification of bioactive components in the extract was performed by using UHPLC-DAD-HESI-MS analysis. The concentrations of macro- and microelements in the extract were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Isocyclamin and desglucocyclamin I were identified in the obtained extract. Potassium was in the highest concentration - 10241.65 mg/kg of the plant material, while zinc was present in the highest concentration (11.57 mg/kg of plant material) among heavy metals. Presented results have shown that the obtained extract from wild cyclamen tubers is a potential source of triterpenoide saponin components isocyclamin and desglucocyclamin I, as well as macro- and microelements.
