Fruits of Euterpe oleracea are widely used in foreign medical practice as an antioxidant. The fruits of Euterpe contain tannins. The most common method of quantitative determination of tannins is spectrophotometry. The purpose of this work is to determine the content of the sum of tannins in the fruits of Euterpe by spectrophotometry Quantitative determination of the amount of tannins in the fruits of Euterpe by direct spectrophotometry was carried out. To confirm the presence of tannins in the fruits of Euterpe, qualitative reactions were used (1% solution of iron-ammonium alum, 1% solution of vanillin in concentrated hydrochloric acid). The presence of tannins was confirmed by direct spectrophotometry in extracts from euterpe fruits, the analytical maxima of the studied compounds were determined at about 282±2 nm, which corresponds to the maximum absorption of catechin. The optimal conditions for the extraction of tannins from the raw materials of this plant (extractant – ethyl alcohol 40%; the ratio of "raw material – extractant" – 1 : 100; extraction time – 60 minutes; the degree of grinding of raw materials – 1.0 mm) are justified. It was determined that the average error in determining the content of tannins in the fruits of euterpe with a confidence probability of 95% is ±1.59%. It was revealed that the content of tannins in the fruits of euterpe is 8.90%.

The flowers and fruits of various species of the hawthorn genus (Crataegus L.) are widely used in domestic and foreign medical practice as cardiotonic preparations. In our opinion, Crataegus submolls Sarg. is a perspective species for collection of the raw materials. Crataegus submolls Sarg. is successfully cultivated in the Russian Federation and is distinguished by its rapid growth and high yield compared with wild-growing species. Moreover, the fresh fruits of Crataegus submolls Sarg. are used in nutrition. The flowers of Crataegus submollis Sarg. contain flavonoids, among of which, like in the case of Hawthorn blood-red the hyperoside is present. It was determined that the maximum of the absorption curve of the solution of Crataegus submollis Sarg. flowers with a solution of aluminum chloride is 412 nm. The method of quantitative determination by the differential spectrophotometry of the total flavonoids calculated on hyperoside in the Crataegus submollis Sarg. flowers has been developed. It was established that the appropriate extragent for this raw material is 70% ethanol. The level of total flavonoid in Crataegus submollis Sarg. flowers has been studied. It was established that separate parts of Crataegus submollis Sarg. flowers differ markedly in the content of total flavonoids and their specific weight in raw materials. It was established that the content of total flavonoids calculated on hyperoside is varied from 2.05±0.08% tо 3.00±0.12%. It was determined that the content of total flavonoids calculated on hyperoside in different parts of hawthorn flowers ranges from 0.98% (receptacle and calyx) to 4.53% (petals).

The fruits of wild rose (Fructus Rosae) have been widely used in both traditional and officinal medicine for the long time. The pharmacological effect of the Rosehip medicine is related to the content of such biologically active compounds as: water-soluble (ascorbic acid) and fat-soluble (carotenoids) vitamins, as well as flavonoids (astragalin, isoquercitrin, tiliroside). Such medicine as Holosas, Carotolin and Rosehip syrup are obtained from the fruits of this plant. In addition, wild rose fruits are part of the various fees from which patients could prepare water infusions at home themselves. Regulatory documentation provides for the analysis of Rosehip raw materials three parameters: the content of ascorbic acid, the total carotenoids and flavonoids. The quantitative content of the total carotenoids in the fruits of the rosehip is regulated for the production of rosehip oil and Carotolin. However, in our opinion, the method of quantitative determination of the total carotenoids, described in the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation of the XIV edition, is too complicated and contains an unreasonably entered coefficient in the formula, leading to an overestimation of the analysis results in 10 times. We have developed the methodic of quantitative determination of the total carotenoids in Rosehip, that include single extraction of raw materials with hexane at room temperature and periodic mixing in the ratio of «raw material : extract» 1 : 30. Investigated solution there was obtained by diluting the hexane extract in the ratio of 2:25 and measured the optical density at wavelength 450 nm. Adjustments have been made to the formula for the calculating of the total carotenoids relating to the removal of the coefficient 10 unjustifiably entered into the pharmacopoeial methodic. It was determined that the content of the total carotenoids calculated on ß-carotene varied from 10.15 to 74.5 mg%. The metrological characteristics of the methodic indicate that the error of a single determination of the total carotenoids in the rosehip fruits with a 95% confidence level is ± 3.57%. Based on the results of the studies, a new test quality indicators “content of the total carotenoids at least 30 mg%” was substantiated instead of 300 mg%.

Garden strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) are widely cultivated on the territory of Russia on industrial plantations and private garden plots to obtain the fruits (berries) of this plant and their use as a valuable food product. When harvesting fruits, other parts of the garden strawberry are not used, however, its vegetative parts are a source of biologically active substances (BAS) and are of interest for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries [1, 4]. The biological activity of garden strawberry leaf extracts is due to the presence of secondary metabolites of a phenolic nature; their content in raw materials reaches more than 3% in some samples [2, 3]. Considering that the main group of biologically active substances of this raw material are flavonoids, the Department of Pharmacognosy with a course of botany conducted research to develop a method for quantitative determination of the amount of flavonoids in terms of rutin. Spectrophotometry was chosen as the optimal method for assessing the content of this group of substances in medicinal plant raw materials - leaves of garden strawberries, which allows determining the amount of flavonoids in terms of the dominant compound and obtaining reliable and reproducible results of quantitative analysis [8, 11]. The technological properties were studied and a therapeutic dose of dry strawberry extract was proposed, optimal compositions were selected and technologies of sachet-granules with dry strawberry extract were developed. The method for the quantitative determination of flavonoids in terms of rutin was validated. The results of the study can be used in the future in the development of draft regulatory documents for sachet-granules with dry strawberry extract of garden leaves and the study of their pharmacological activity.

Представленная работа посвящена определению оптимальных условий выделения суммы экстрактивных веществ из древесной зелени сосны методом эмульсионной экстракции. Экологически безопасный эмульсионный метод экстракции растительного сырья в водно-щелочной среде не уступает традиционным методам извлечения низкомолекулярных компонентов и позволяет эффективно выделять как гидрофильные, так и гидрофобные соединения. Объектом данного исследования являются отходы лесозаготовок - древесная зелень сосны обыкновенной - источник природных биологически активных веществ, имеющих практическое применение. Определение оптимальных условий экстракции ДЗ сосны эмульсионным способом в данном исследовании было проведено методом поверхности отклика с использованием ротатабельного композиционного униформ-плана второго порядка, который включал 13 экспериментальных опытов со всеми возможными комбинациями уровней двух изучаемых факторов: концентрации водного раствора NaOH и гидромодуля : отношения объема щелочного раствора к массе сырья. Анализ результатов исследований показал, что в заданном интервале варьирования факторов наибольшее влияние на выход экстрактивных веществ оказывает гидромодуль, при увеличении которого до 10:1 выход увеличивается, далее устанавливается равновесная концентрация в системе «сырье – экстрагент». Установлены оптимальные условия эмульсионной экстракции древесной зелени сосны: концентрация водного раствора NaOH - 5%, гидромодуль - 10:1. В оптимальных условиях выход экстрактивных веществ составил 9,84% от массы сухого сырья, что сопоставимо с результатами, полученными традиционными методами экстракции сырья органическими растворителями. The presented work is devoted to the determination of the optimal conditions for the isolation of the sum of extractives from wood greenery (WG) of Pinus sylvestris by the method of emulsion extraction. The environmentally friendly emulsion method for the extraction of plant raw materials in an aqueous-alkaline medium is not inferior to the traditional methods of extracting low molecular weight components and makes it possible to effectively isolate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. The object of this study is logging waste – woody greenery of Pinus sylvestris – a source of natural biologically active substances that have practical application. The determination of the optimal conditions for the extraction of WG pine by the emulsion method in this study was carried out by the response surface method using a rotatable compositional uniform plan of the second order, which included 13 experiments with all possible combinations of the levels of two studied factors: the concentration of an aqueous solution of NaOH and the hydromodule – ratio of the volume of water-alkaline solution to the mass of raw materials. Analysis of the research results showed that in a given range of variation of factors, the greatest influence on the yield of extractive substances is exerted by the hydromodule, with an increase of which to 10: 1, the yield increases, then an equilibrium concentration is established in the "raw material – extractant" system. The optimal conditions for emulsion extraction of WG pine were established: concentration of an aqueous solution of NaOH – 5%, hydromodule 10:1. Under optimal conditions, the yield of extractive substances was 9,84% of the weight of the dry raw material, which is comparable with the results obtained by traditional methods of raw material extraction with organic solvents.

Introduction. Currently, close attention in the field of pharmacy and medicine is directed to the search for new sources of biologically active substances of various origins, including vegetable. The woody plant Elaeagnus argentea is considered as a promising source. Despite its widespread use in the food industry, folk medicine as an anti-inflammatory, restorative, antimicrobial agent, the chemical composition of this plant has not been sufficiently studied.Aim. Qualitative and quantitative determination of the main groups of biologically active substances (BAS) in the raw material (leaves) of Elaeagnus argentea growing on the territory of the Astrakhan region for further development of a methodology for standardizing the raw material of this plant.Materials and methods. The leaves of Elaeagnus argentea were harvested in the spring in the eastern part of the delta of the Astrakhan region (Volga region). Drying of raw materials was carried out in natural conditions. In the study, unified methods were used: to determine the amount of flavonoids and saponins, the spectrophotometric method was used, ascorbic acid - the titrimetric method. For the analysis of flavonoids in the leaves of Elaeagnus argentea, an aqueous-alcoholic solution of 70 % concentration was used as an extractant. The quantitative content of flavonoids was determined in the obtained raw material extract in terms of luteolin-7-glucoside. The amount of saponins in the leaves of Elaeagnus argentea was determined in terms of oleanolic acid. 96 % ethanol was used as an extractant. The quantitative determination of ascorbic acid in the aqueous extract of crushed raw materials was carried out by titrimetry based on the ability to reduce 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol.Results and discussion. In the pharmacognostic study of biologically active substances in the leaves of Elaeagnus argentea, the content of ascorbic acid was found to be at least 0.32 %, the amount of flavonoids in terms of luteolin-7-glucoside was at least 1.92 %; saponins - 2.38 %; which indicates the need for a more detailed study of the phytochemical composition of other morphological groups of the plant Elaeagnus argentea growing in the Astrakhan region.Conclusion. The data obtained during the study can be used to confirm the quality of raw materials (leaves) of Elaeagnus argentea. A more detailed study of leaves for the presence of other groups of biologically active substances will make it possible to use the obtained data for the development of regulatory documents for medicinal plant raw materials «Elaeagnus argentea leaves».
