The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the courses of intake of Pyatigorsk spring water characterized by the level of mineralization up to 5.01 g / l (weakly acidic, containing sulfates, bicarbonates, chlorides, calcium, and sodium) modified by nano-scale particles of selenium. The experiments were carried out on 46 male Wistar rats allocated into 6 groups of 8 animals each (1 control group and 5 experimental groups). The animals of the former group were given native drinking mineral water during 21 days while those of the latter ones drank the same water modified by nano-scale particles of selenium added at two doses, either 40 mg / kg or 20 mg / kg. Some animals received water containing dissolved nanoparticles of selenium at the same doses. The parameters measured included the leukocyte blood profile, the level of glutathione peroxidase, and indicators of metabolic stress (aminotransferase and malone dialdehyde levels, i.e. modified oxidized low-density lipoproteins, total protein and glucose levels in blood). It was shown that the levels of malone dialdehyde and modified oxidized low-density lipoproteins did not change in the animals of experimental groups compared with those in the control group. It suggested resistance of lipids to free radical oxidation under the conditions of the course drinking of natural water and the water modified by nano-scale particles of selenium. Native mineral water proved to increase the level of glutathione in blood to above the control values in 50% of the test animals whereas mineral water modified by selenium nanoparticles caused a similar increase in 75% of the experimental animals regardless of the selenium concentration. It is concluded that the enhancement of the activity of the antioxidative system under effect of addition of the selenium nanoparticles into mineral water at the doses of 20mg/kg and 40mg/kg limits the production of organic hydroperoxides. The data obtained can be used to choose the optimal amount of selenium nanoparticles for the introduction into mineral water for the purpose of increasing its biological potential.

Coriandrum sativum L. belongs to the Apiaceae family, which is cultivated in Dong Nai province, in this paper its seed oil of was studied. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation. We used two methods for activating of hydrodistillation: conventional heating and microwave irradiating. Its physical and chemical indexes were measured. The chemical composition of this oil was identified by GC/MS and quantified by GC/FID. Linalool (75.51-77.21 %), and geranyl acetate (15.64-12.79 %) were the main constituents of the oil which were obtained in 0,32-0.39 % yield. The biological activity of this oil was reported.

Spices are a part of the plants used for many purposes as preservatives and as colorants in foods or as medicinal intention. Main aim of the present research was to estimate the potential antimicrobial activity of some spices from Apiaceae family such as Amni visnaga (Diş otu, Hıltan), Anethum graveolens (Dereotu), Apium graveolens (Kereviz), Coriandrum sativum (Kişniş), Cuminum cyminum (Kimyon), Daucus carota (Havuç), Foeniculum vulgare (Rezene), Petroselinum sativum (Maydanoz), Pimpinella anisum (Anason). Thus, the fruits of the plants are used in the experiments. The fruits have been extracted by n-hexane, and all extracts have been subjected to TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography). The n-hexane extracts were screened for their potential in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13883, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and antifungal activity against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 by microbroth dilution method. The hexane extracts of the fruits of Coriandrum sativum, Anethum graveolens, Daucus carota, and Pimpinella anisum did not show antimicrobial activity against tested microorganisms. Except these, the other extracts having MIC values of 2.5-5-10 mg/mL exhibited antimicrobial effect against some tested microorganisms. These results demonstrate that the extracts which have an antimicrobial effect can probably play a role as an antimicrobial agent owing to their nonpolar components which are accumulated to the n-hexane extracts.

Сведения о биохимическом составе шротов сортов кориандра, выращиваемых на территории России, создаст предпосылки для более эффективного и широкого их использования, в первую очередь в качестве добавок в корма. Представлены результаты изучения метаболомных профилей интактных плодов и 3 видов шрота кориандра сорта «Янтарь» (после гексановой, докритической и сверхкритической CO2-экстракций). Даны описание и характеристика идентифицированных групп биологически активных веществ (БАВ). В метаболомных профилях изученных 4 образцов идентифицированы 64 компонента: 13 органических кислот, 14 свободных аминокислот, 5 жирных кислот, 10 многоатомных спиртов (в том числе 3 инозитола), 10 фенольных соединений, моно- и олигосахариды (9 и 3 соответственно). Определен лучший способ экстрагирования масел, при котором наиболее полным образом извлекается эфиромасличная составляющая плодов кориандра и лучше всего сохраняются питательные вещества в обезжиренном шроте. При всех видах экстракции происходило снижение содержания БАВ. При этом больше всего БАВ сохраняется при сверхкритической CO2-экстракции, меньше всего — при докритической CO2-экстракции. Преобладающей фракцией БАВ для всех образцов кориандра являются полисахариды. Продукты переработки кориандра можно рекомендовать для включения в корма сельскохозяйственных животных как добавку к основному корму.

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is one of the herbs which is used for medicinal and food purposes. In the present study the levels of selected metals in coriander leaves were determined in the samples collected from four different farmlands (Sebeta, Mekanisa, Holeta and Gefersa) in Ethiopia where its cultivation is common. The levels of metals were determined after digestion of samples with the mixture of 4 mL of HNO3 and 4 mL of HClO4 at 300 oC for 3:00 hours by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The optimized wet digestion method for coriander leaves analysis was validated through the recovery experiment and a good percentage recovery was obtained (93.2-101%). The levels of metals were found in the range Ca, 2319–3503 mg/kg; Zn, 33.4–54.8 mg/kg and Cr, 5.55-9.86 mg/kg while the trace metals Cu, Ni, Cd and Pb were too low to be detected. The results indicated that Ethiopian coriander is a good source of essential metals and free from the toxic metals Pb and Cd. A statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 95% confidence level indicated that there is significant difference (p < 0.05) in the levels of all detected metals between the four sample means. The Pearson correlation was used to predict the dependence of metal levels on one another. The levels of the metals determined in this study compared well with those reported for coriander leaves from some other parts of the world.
