An important role in the metabolism of ripening plant fruits is assigned to such a group of biologically active substances (BAS) as organic acids. This group of compounds accumulates in the fruits of plant objects in significant quantities, and the nature of the accumulation is in close relationship with metabolic processes, and is also determined by the influence of environmental factors, species and varietal characteristics of the plant. One of the promising plant sources of this group of BAS is the fruits of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.). On the example of the fruits of ten different varieties of this plant, a comparative study of the profile of free organic acids was carried out using a complex of different methods of analysis (capillary electrophoresis (CE), thin layer chromatography (TLC), titrimetry). The cultivars with the maximum and minimum accumulation of BAS were identified. It was found that the composition of organic acids for the representatives of the variety samples is not the same, the maximum separation of chromatographic zones is observed in the variety «Ryabinovaya», the minimum - in the varieties «Stolichnaya», «Galerit», «Botanicheskaya», «Botanicheskaya amateur». The studied fruits were found to contain oxalic, malic, succinic and tartaric acids, identified using reliable standard samples. In the course of the research, specific marker zones were established, which can characterize the belonging of the fruits to a particular variety. The most informative is the method of СE, as it allows for one analytical procedure to carry out the qualitative and quantitative determination of free organic acids in acid and salt forms. However, complete information on the composition and quantitative content of acids can be obtained only by combining TLC and CE methods.

An analysis of the literature over the past 20 years has shown that when controlling the quality of drugs containing monosaccharides, as well as studying the composition of simple sugars in polysaccharide complexes of medicinal plants and not only, preference is given to physicochemical methods, as the most express, sensitive and informative. No means have been found in the scientific literature to identify and quantify simultaneously various monosaccharides by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). An economical and rapid method has been developed for the identification and quantitative determination of simple reducing sugars (by the example of glucose, rhamnose and xylose) by the HPTLC method. The optimal conditions for their chromatography in a thin layer of sorbent with a quantitative interpretation of HPTLC data on a personal computer were experimentally selected and theoretically substantiated. In a detailed study of the influence of the polarity of the system on the value of Rf, the intervals of values of the polarity of the eluent were chosen, in which these dependences become linear. Using the proposed dependencies, you can select different systems for the separation of monosaccharides in a thin layer of sorbent, so that the value of Rf fit into the optimal values. The proposed method was tested on medicinal plant raw materials of nettle dioica and sea buckthorn fruits of various conservation methods. Zones of simple sugars of characteristic color were found on the chromatograms of extracts from the studied raw materials, among which glucose, xylose and rhamnose were identified by the characteristic value of Rf values in comparison with reliable standard samples. The technique can be used in quality control of substances, single-component and complex preparations, plant objects, dietary supplements, premixes and products of the food industry.

Introduction. According to the literature, nettle leaves contain polysaccharides and mucus as an integral part of the hydrophilic fraction. This group of biologically active substances (BAS) is involved in the manifestation of the physiological activity of the infusion. The traditional gravimetric method for the determination of polysaccharides in medicinal plant raw materials (PRM), pharmaceutical substances of plant origin and medicinal herbal preparations cannot provide a true picture of their content due to the presence of impurities. Therefore, it is advisable to determine the reducing sugars that are most fully extracted into the aqueous phase during the preparation of the infusion using modern physicochemical methods of analysis.Aim. The aim of the work was to determine the amount of polysaccharides and simple sugars in nettle leaves by various physico-chemical methods and their comparative characteristics.Materials and methods. A comparative determination of the sum of polysaccharides and simple sugars in the leaves of nettle by pharmacopoeial methods (picrine, anthrone and orcine) was carried out. Free and bound simple sugars were identified and quantified by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The composition and content of free simple sugars was studied by capillary electrophoresis (CE) in raw materials.Results and discussion. The content of free and bound sugars in raw materials has been established. The largest content of both the sum of polysaccharides and free simple sugars in the polysaccharide complex of nettle leaves, as well as the sum of free reducing simple sugars, according to experimental data, was obtained using the picrine method. The content of pentoses in the studied PRM was four times less, which is consistent with the literature data on the preferential construction of polysaccharides of plant objects from sugars of the hexose class. The resulting total content of the fraction of free sugars in the leaves, determined by the CE method, is an order of magnitude less compared with spectrophotometric methods. The obtained results of quantitative determination of the amount of free and bound simple sugars in the studied PRM are consistent with the determination data by the picrine pharmacopoeial method.Conclusion. In general, complete information, depending on the goals of the analysis, on the composition and quantitative content of simple and related sugars in the polysaccharide complex of plant objects can only be obtained by combining spectral methods with CE or TLC.

An alternative method for assessing the quality of sea buckthorn oils and extracts from the concentration of biologically active lipid substances exhibiting antioxidant activity is considered. The method of microcalorimetry is used to assess the content of antioxidants. The heat of a model cumene oxidation reaction in the presence of sea buckthorn oils and extracts obtained by various technologies is registered. As compared to other methods for obtaining sea buckthorn lipid fractions, the extraction of sea buckthorn fruits with sunflower oil is considered to be an unproductive method, since an increase in antioxidant activity compared with the initial oil is found to be moderate: from 1.56∙10-3 to 1.69∙10-3 mol/kg. Sea buckthorn oil obtained by pressing berries (antioxidant content 6.12∙10-3 mol/kg) and carbon dioxide extraction of sea buckthorn meal (antioxidant content 5.92∙10-3 mol/kg) are of the highest biological value among the objects under study. The maximum amount of antioxidants (5.5∙10-2 mol/kg) is determined in a dry extract of sea-buckthorn fruits enriched with triterpenic acids of the ursan and olean series. The method for assessing the quality of extracts used in the work allows choosing the most efficient technique for processing sea buckthorn fruits. The concentration of antioxidants consisting of a complex of tocopherols, carotenoids, triterpenoids, lipophilic acids, and other compounds is a good criterion of the quality and therapeutic value of oils.

Common Saint-John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) and pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) are rich in such biologically active substances (BAS) as carotene, ascorbic acid, essential oils, vitamins, tannin and resinous substances, as well as flavonoids that bear evident wound healing properties and antiulcerous properties. The object of this study was BAR composition of the complex dense herb extract of St. John's wort and flowers of marigolds (1:10). In order to introduce a new herbal substance into medical practice, it is necessary to develop methods for its identification and quantification. The TLC [thin layer chromatography] method was used to identify the BAR in the extract under study, and the method of absorption spectrophotometry was proposed for quantification of the content of flavonoids. As a result of the conducted research, there were selected characteristic substances - identification markers of the extract, the choice of which was in accordance with the requirements of the SPF on the quality of the herb of St. John's wort and the flowers of pot marigold, and there was indicated the position and coloring of the zones in the chromatographic profile of the tested extract solution. Such approach will enable objective identification of the extract as a substance and as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in the formulation. The criterion for quantitative standardization of the complex dense extract is the content of the amount of flavonoids not less than 1.5% in terms of hyperoside and dry substance.
