Assessment of biologically active compounds, organic acids and antioxidant activity in needle extracts of different Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) half-sib families

This paper dwells on the uvological characteristics of cultivar Vitis vinifera L. ‘Red Aladasturi’ grape raw materials growing in the viticulture and winemaking zone of Imereti (Georgia), as well as biologically active compounds and antioxidant activity of hydrophilic extracts and liquid concentrates of its solid matters (stone and skin). Research also covered hydrophilic extracts of grape skin and stone thickened by the vacuum of ‘Red Aladasturi’ grapes raw materials, as well as the concentrates produced from their composition. For research, there were used gravimetric, extractive, spectral and chromatographic methods. We processed samples of grapes raw materials according to the following pattern: identifying qualitative indicators of grapes raw materials; passing grapes raw materials through the DMCSI-type grape clustercomb divider; pressing-out the combless must in a basket press and separation of juice; vacuum sublimation drying of juiceless sweet pomace with an initial moisture content of 45–65% to a final moisture content of 9–10%; separation of the ‘Red Aladasturi’ cultivar’s skin and stone dried to the moisture content of 9–10%, using tea sorting machine designed by G. Lominadze; crushing separately the skin and stone in a micro-mill (TP2 Hammer Mill) until the fraction of 50–100 µm. we have blended the obtained grape-stone ethanol and fluid extracts containing 74–75% of solid maters at an equal ratio (1:1:1) and assessed biologically active compounds and antioxidant activity in this composition. It has been established that the bio-flavanoid liquid concentrate ‘Red Aladasturi’ is strong antioxidant (55.31–57.45%), and one tablespoon or 8–9 ml of it contains 110–127 mg of flavanoids, which is 105–110% of a full day of rations per person per day.

The article presents Data on the content of biologically active compounds (BAC) and the total phenolic antioxidants activity (TPA) evaluated for leaves and inflorescences of Achillea millefolium, Anthemis tinctoria, Artemisia absinthium, A. dracunculus, Leucanthemum vulgare, Pyrethrum balsamita, P. macrophyllum, Tanacetum vulgare. The leaves and inflorescences of the plants contain flavonols, catechins, tannins, carotenoids, pectin substances. High content of phenolic compounds was found in Artemisia dracunculus and Achillea millefolium (352.34 – 398.99 mg/g of DW). The highest level of catechins was registered in inflorescences (8.01 mg/g) and leaves (4.58 mg/g) of Artemisia absinthium. The content of pectin substances in the studied plants was quite high, with the biggest share of protopectins (50.6 – 95.9 mg/g). The maximum quantity of pectins was found in the leaves and inflorescences of Leucanthemum vulgare (11.2-12.7 mg/g), protopectins – in the leaves of Tanacetum vulgare (95.9 mg/g). The highest content of carotenoids was found in the leaves of plants, except for Leucanthemum vulgare. The highest antioxidant activity was recorded for water-ethanol extracts from leaves of Achillea millefolium (up to 1.09 mg/g) and inflorescences of Artemisia dracunculus (0.94 mg/g) plants due to the increased content of phenolic compounds, in particular flavonols and tannins, compared to the other species.

The article presents Dara on the content of biologically active compounds (BAC) and the total phenolic antioxidants activity (TPA) evaluated for leaves and inflorescences of eight species from the Rosaceae family: Padus avium, Malus baccata, Alhemilla vulgaris, Potentilla inquinans, Filipendula vulgaris, F. palmata, Sanguisorba officinalis, S. alpina. It was determined that leaves and inflorescences contain flavonols, catechins, tannins, carotenoids, saponins, pectin substances. Usually, woody plants tend to accumulate less BAC and TPA than herbs. The highest level of flavonols and tannins was registered in inflorescences of F. vulgaris (12.25% and 45.02 %). The content of pectin substances was quite high, with the biggest share of protopectins (4.4-10.65%). The maximum quantity of catechins (4.76%) was found in the leaves of F. palmata, saponins – in the inflorescences of M. baccata (20.77%). The highest content of carotenoids was found in the leaves of plants, most notably in P. inquinans (1.00 mg/g). The highest antioxidant activity was recorded for water-ethanol extracts from inflorescences (up to 7.77 mg/g) and leaves (2.11 mg/g) of F. vulgaris and A. vulgaris plants due to increased content of phenolic compounds, in particular flavonols and tannins, compared to the other species.

Cinnamon rose (Rosa majalis Herrm.) is the one of two species of rose hips growing in the Kemerovo region. The rose hips pharmacopoeial raw material are fruits which used as a vitamin agent. The rose hips pharmacological effect is due to the rich complex of biologically active substances contained in its fruits. Cinnamon rose belongs to the high-vitamin species. Ascorbic acid content can reach 4-14% in it. Due to the high content of organic acids and polyphenols, rose hips and preparations based on it have a fairly strong antioxidant effect. They are often used to prevent vitamin C deficiency, which is especially important for the region local population living in a territory with a harsh continental climate, characterized by long cold winters. Therefore, the rose hips from Kuzbass flora further study is an urgent goal to expand the medicinal plant raw material base and to provide the population of the region with a vitamin product. The study was aimed at assessing some biologically active compounds content (tannins, organic acids, ascorbic acid) in the cinnamon rose fruits growing in the region. Ascorbic acid quantitative determination was carried out by HPLC, organic acids and tannins - by titration. The analysis showed that the ascorbic acid content in the raw materials collected in the Topkinsky district of the region reaches 0,450±0,003 %, organic acids - 3,728±0,051 %, which corresponds to the PI requirements for this type of raw material. Tannins quantitative content reaches 5.76 %. Obtained experimental data comparative analysis with the literature confirmed the fact that one of the main factors affecting the rose hips vitamin content is the geographical factor.
