Three types of monofloral honey (rapeseed honey, buckwheat and lavender) from the Republic of Moldova were analyzed. The results of the palynological analysis showed that the samples had a dominant type of pollen (at least 45%). In the case of lavender honey, the pollen of the plant Lavandula angustifolia is present in an average value of 74.83 ± 0.3; in rapeseed honey - Brassica napus and for buckwheat honey -Fagopyrum esculentum in average values as follows: 56.07 ± 0.3 and 68.08 ± 0.2% respectively. The study of the content of biologically active substances showed that buckwheat honey is the richest in polyphenols (9.00 ± 0.11 mg gallic acid / kg) and carotenoids (4.24 ± 0.57 mg βcarotE / kg), and maximum content of flavonoids is in rapeseed honey (4.52 ± 0.28 mg catechin / kg). Thus, the obtained results confirm that the honey from the Republic of Moldova falls within the limits recommended by the international regulation assuming adequate working conditions, handling, collection and storage of honey by beekeepers from the Republic of Moldova.

The object of the study was the fruits of milk thistle [Silybum marianum (L) Gaertn.] and fatty oil obtained from them by hexane extraction in the Soxlet apparatus. The aim of the study was to study the influence of natural and climatic conditions on the accumulation of fatty oil and other biologically active substances in the fruits of milk thistle growing on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan. It was found that the content of fatty oil and proteins in the fruits of milk thistle increases with a decrease in air temperature, an increase in the amount of precipitation and soil moisture at the place of growth; the content of carbohydrates and flavolignans in the studied samples of milk thistle fruits is inversely dependent on the content of fatty oil. It was revealed that with an increase in the amount of precipitation and a decrease in the amount of active temperatures during the change of the natural and climatic zone from the foothill Kaitagsky to the high-mountain Kulinsky district, the total content of unsaturated fatty acids, primarily linoleic acid, in milk thistle oil samples decreases. The method of differential scanning calorimetry has been used to study the thermophysical properties of the fatty oil of milk thistle growing in the Kulinsky, Levashinsky and Kaitagsky districts of Dagestan. The results of the thermal analysis are in good agreement with the conclusions obtained from the results of chemical and chromatographic analysis, differential scanning calorimetry allows us to identify trends in the change in the fatty acid and triglyceride composition of milk thistle fatty oil, depending on the natural and climatic conditions of the growth of milk thistle.

It is well–known that cranberry is an especially rich and heterogenic source of phytochemical substances. Modern technologies allow to produce food products of wild fruits and berries, but they use their diverse and useful chemical composition insufficiently. The aim of the work was in studying features of the chemical composition and content of biologically active substances in cranberries, harvested at the territory of Ukraine, and the influence of processing technologies of cranberry on main indicators of its chemical composition at producing juices. It was established, that the maximal extraction of biologically active substances is possible at juices production using biocatalysis method, because the essential part of functional elements in the raw material is in the bound condition and is a base of cellular walls that is why it is expedient to disturb nativity and integrity of these natural biopolymers. There was experimentally grounded the influence of a processing technology on the quality of cranberry juice. There was studied the phenol composition of cranberry composition and influence of different ways of fermentolysis on PS extraction. It was confirmed by results of the study of the fraction composition of phenol substances, that their maximal extraction is achieved after the enzymatic processing of pulp and momentary heating to inactivate the effect of enzymatic preparations. It was proved, that enzymatic biocatalysis of cranberry pulp also favors the essential increase of the output of organic acids (lemon, apple, amber), sugars (fructose, glucose), sorbite polyalcohol and also phenol substances of cranberries. The mechanism of the enzymatic complex influence on cranberry pulp at fermentolysis was demonstrated. The use of products of cranberries processing at food products manufacturing will allow: to enrich the chemical composition, to compensate deviations of functional–technical properties of the raw material and to introduce resource–saving technologies. Based on the researches there were substantiated perspectives of using juices and marc of cranberry in different branches of the food industry: non–alcoholic, meat processing and at manufacturing products of the restaurant industry.

Introduction. Lipids are a widespread group of biologically active substances in nature, making up the bulk of the organic substances of all living organisms. They accumulate in plants in seeds, as well as in fruits and perform a number of vital functions: they are the main components of cell membranes and the energy reserve for the body.Aim. Study of neutral lipids of sown oats (Avena sativa L.).Materials and methods. The objects of the study were fruits (grains) of oats of the sown variety "Tashkent 1," harvested in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Results and discussions. Neutral lipids of oat grains have been found to contain 13 fatty acids with a predominance of the sum of oleic, linolenic and linoleic acids. The total degree of unsaturation was almost 78%. Absorption bands characteristic of these substances were observed in the IR spectrum of MEGC.Conclusion. According to the results of the NL analysis, oat grains consisted of triacylglycerides and free LCDs, which were accompanied by hydrocarbons, phytosterols, triterpenoids and tocopherols.

The identification of the diversity of microscopic fungi of lithobiont communities of the Argentine Islands in specimens collected during the 22nd Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition was the purpose of this work. Samples of rock, soil, mosses and lichens of rock micro-habitats of “Crustose lichen sub-formation and fruticose lichen and moss cushion sub-formation” were used in the work. These samples were used for extracting and cultivation of filamentous fungi on dense nutrient media. Determination of physiological and biochemical characteristics and identification of yeast-like fungi were performed using a microbiological analyser ‘Vitek-2’ (‘Bio Merieux’, France). Cultivation of microorganisms was carried out at temperatures from +2 to +37 °C. In results cultures of microscopic fungi of Zygomycota (Mucor circinelloides), Ascomycota (species of the genera cf. Tlielebolus, Talaromyces), representatives of the Anamorphic fungi group (Geomyces pannorum, species of the genera Alternaria, Acremonium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium) were isolated from Antarctic samples. Microscopic fungi Penicillium spp. were dominated after the frequency in the studied samples (54.5%). Rhodotorula rubra and Candida sp. among isolated yeast fungi, and dark pigmented fungi represented by Aureobasidium pulhdans and Exophiala spp. were identified. The biological properties of a number of isolated fungi (the potential ability to synthesise important biologically active substances: melanins, carotenoids, lipids) are characterised. Mycobiota of rock communities of Argentine Islands is rich on filamentous and yeast fungi similarly to other regions of Antarctica. A number of fungi investigated are potentially able to synthesise biologically active substances. The dark pigmented species of the genera Cladosporium, Exophiala, Aureobasidium pulhdans, capable of melanin synthesis; ‘red’ yeast Rhodotorula rubra (carotenoid producers and resistant to toxic metals); Mucor circinelloides and Geomyces pannorum, lipid producers, are among these fungi. Yeast-like fungi assimilated a wide range of carbohydrates, which will allow them to be further used for cultivation in laboratory and process conditions. The collection of technologically promising strains of microorganisms, part of the Culture Collection of Fungi at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), is updated with isolated species (strains) of filamentous fungi and yeast – potential producers of biologically active substances, obtained within this study.
