Due to the content of phytosterols, extractive preparations of Urtica dioica roots are able to show antiandrogenic effect in the case of external therapy of men and women with androgenic alopecia. Oil extracts (OE) are characterized by several advantages when applied to the skin of the scalp compared to water-alcohol extracts. For the development of OE technology from Urtica dioica roots, it is important to choose the optimal extraction parameters, which are based on the quantitative determination of phytosterols in the extractant and the studied samples of extracts. The aim of the work is to choose the optimal parameters for obtaining OE from Urtica dioica roots based on quantitative determination of phytosterols content in experimental samples of OE by gas capillary chromatography. Materials and methods. Objects of the research – Urtica dioica root, refined corn oil, refined sunflower oil, samples of oil extracts. Determination of phytosterol content in experimental samples was carried out by gas capillary chromatography (chromatograph “Crystal 2000”, manufacturer – research and production company “Analytics”). Results. 5 different compounds of steroid structure (stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, etc.) were identified in sunflower oil by gas liquid chromatography, and 10 (campesterol, 2-α stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, Δ5-avenosterol, etc.) were identified in sunflower oil. The quantitative content of β-sitosterol in the sum of sterols of corn oil was significantly higher compared to the content of this substance in sunflower oil and amounted to 59.33 %. Optimal technological parameters were established considering the peculiarities of extraction with oil extractant and quantitative determination of the amount of phytosterols and β-sitosterol in experimental samples of OE. The total content of plant sterols in OE, including considering their amount in the extractant, was in the range of 7880 mg/kg; the amount of β-sitosterol was 4638 mg/kg. Conclusion. The choice of optimal parameters for obtaining OE from UDR based on determination of phytosterol yield by gas capillary chromatography was experimentally substantiated, namely: extractant – corn oil, raw material-extract ratio – 1: 5, extraction time – 6 h, extraction method – maceration

Squalene is a naturally-occurring dihydro-triterpene hydrocarbon (C30H50) with six double bonds, which is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phytosterol or cholesterol in plants or animals. The sources of squalene and the main methods forsqualene production and determination are consideredin brief. Sunflower oil distillation cuts have been selected as the subject of the study, since they area promising secondary raw material for the industrial squalene production. The methods of sample preparation and quantification of squalene in sunflower oil distillation cuts applying gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry have been adapted. The aim of the studyis to create an integrated approach to determining the qualitative and quantitative content of squalene in distillation cuts of vegetable oils. To achieve the goal of the study, the following tasks have been solved: – Amethod of sample preparation of distillation cuts for determination of squalene has been adapted; – A method of qualitative and quantitative determination of squalene in distillation cuts has been modified. As a result of this study, a technique for sample preparation of distillation cuts was proposed as well as a method for the qualitative and quantitative (absolute calibrationmethod) determination of squalene in distillation cuts of sunflower oil. To implement the technique, a Kristall 5000 gas chromatograph equipped with a mass spectrometric detector was used. Squalene and background components were recorded using the NIST 11 mass spectral database.

SUMMARY A method is described for estimating oestriol in 2–10 ml samples of human pregnancy peripheral plasma. It incorporates acid hydrolysis, chemical purification, methylation, chromatography on alumina columns, formation of a derivative and quantitative determination by gas chromatography. A radioactive internal standard was added to correct for procedural losses. Plasma oestriol determinations in five normal patients throughout pregnancy and delivery are reported.

The algorithm of the study that includes theoretical analysis and physical experiment was elaborated for the study of technological parameters of pectin containing raw material processing in the vegetable-milk forcemeats technology. The expedience of using carrot Shantenee, pumpkin Guiley and marrow Zolotinka as the sources of pectin substances in the technology of combined forcemeats on the milk base was grounded. Technological parameters of pectin containing raw material processing for realization of its target properties as an amendment and stabilizer of the structure in milk-vegetable forcemeats technology were theoretically grounded. The methods of determination of soluble pectin and protopectin content and also the methods of determination of рН medium were chosen. The methods of experiment planning and mathematical processing of experimental data were carried out using computer programs MS Excel 97 2003 and MatCAD. The influence of рН medium, temperature and duration of thermal processing of carrot, pumpkin and marrow on the process of accumulation of soluble pectin in them was studied. The formation technology of puree of the vegetables that have the increased viscosity and are not stratified at the storage and further use. Accumulation of soluble pectin that expresses the properties of structure stabilizer and favors the increase of vegetable puree viscosity causes the expedience of its use in milk-vegetable forcemeats technology. The use of vegetable puree in milk-vegetable forcemeats technology allows widen the assortment and provide the mutual enrichment of the receipt components of combined forcemeat masses with milk proteins, β-carotene, food fibers, vitamins and other functional ingredients.

Chamomilla recutita is used in scientific medicine. Tripleurospermum inodorum (L.) Sch. Bip. is widely spread among possible impurities of Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert. This plant is perspective for establishment into scientific medicine but it can’t change Chamomilla recutita (L.) Rauschert. Purpose of research: development of a method for the quantitative determination of the amount of flavonoids in terms of rutin in Tripleurospermum inodorum’s flowers using differential spectrophotometry. Materials and methods. The samples prepared in different parts of Russia were used as objects of research. (2017 – 2020). Spectral studies were carried out in the wavelength range of 350-430 nm with a step of 1 nm using a spectrophotometer SF-2000. Results. To determine the analytical wavelength, the UV spectra of alcohol extraction of Tripleurospermum inodorum’s flowers were studied. Maximum of absorption was noticed at wavelength 370 nm. The differential spectrum of the same extraction with an aluminum chloride solution of 2% in 96% alcohol has a maximum at a length of 410±2 nm, which coincides with the maximum of the Standard Sample (SS) of rutin. The largest number of flavonoids is extracted by 70% alcohol. The maximum optical density and the highest output of the number of flavonoids from the raw material is observed at a degree of grinding of 2 mm with a single extraction for 60 minutes. In the conditions of complexation, the optimal ratio of the volume of the test solution and aluminum chloride with a solution of 2% in 96% alcohol is the ratio of 1:1. The stability of the complex with an aluminum chloride solution of 2% in 96% alcohol is observed in 40 minutes after the start of the reaction and retains it for 30 minutes. Findings. The method is developed and the parameters of the quantitative determination of the amount of flavonoids in Tripleurospermum inodorum flores are determined in terms of rutin using differential spectrophotometry.

Abstract A rapid method is described for the extraction and quantitative determination of sorbic acid in Cheddar cheese. Cheddar cheese is impregnated onto a Celite 545 column, extracted with acetonitrile, and analyzed for sorbic acid by gas-liquid chromatography, using a 7.5% ethylene glycol adipate + 2% H3PO4 column. Average recovery values for known amounts of sorbic acid were 107%.
