The content, component composition, and main directions of the use of monoterpenes of wild rose petals compounds are considered in the research. The study on six wild rose species was carried out in the collection of M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Volatile organic compounds were isolated by steam distillation, and their determination was performed by means of gas chromatography. R. rugosa petals contained the highest number of monoterpenoids, while R. canina petals – the lowest. In our research twentyone different (acyclic, monocyclic, bicyclic) monoterpenoids were identified, including alcohols, aldehydes, ethers, and ketones. All groups of monoterpenoids are biologically active substances and have a significant effect on the aroma of the studied plants.

Purpose. To reveal the raw material potential of the representatives of the genus Paeonia L. introduced in the M. M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NBG) in terms of the content of biologically active compounds. Methods. Introduced plants of the genus Paeonia: P. lactiflora Pall., P. officinalis L. and its hybrid forms: P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’, F1 (P. officinalis ‘Rub­ra Plena’ ´ P. peregrina Mill.), cultivar NBG ‘Kvazimodo’ (P. lactiflora ‘M-lle Jeanne Riviere’ ´ F1 [P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’ ´ P. peregrina)], P. anomala L. were the object of the research. The content of polyphenolic compounds, homopolysaccharides, ascorbic acid and other substances was determined by spectrophotometry, titrimetry and colorimetry. The analysis of biologically active compounds was carried out by the method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results. Species and varietal differences in the amount of polyphenols in plants of various species and forms were determined. It was found that the roots of the studied F1 plants (P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’ ´ P. peregrina), cultivar NBG ‘Kvazimodo’, P. lactiflora contain a much higher amount of polysaccharides compared to the roots of P. anomala. In peony plants, the average share of vitamin C is 37.65% and varies among representatives of the genus in the range from 22.10 ± 2.18 [F1 (P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’ ´ P. peregrina)] to 47.60 ± 3.69 (P. anomala) and 49.30 ± 5.50% (P. lactiflora). The maximum content of carotenoids was found in the roots of P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’ (2.10 ± 0.21 mg%) and F1 (P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’ ´ P. peregrina) (2.20 ± 0.13 mg%). A significant amount of free gallic acid was observed in the roots of P. anomala, and halotannins in P. lactiflora. Conclusions. The results of phytochemical studies of plants of species, hybrids and cultivars of the genus Paeonia introduced in the  M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the NAS of Ukraine showed that they accumulate a significant level of basic biologically active compounds: flavonoids, tannins, mono- and polysaccharides, pigments roots of P. lactiflora and P. officinalis are promising in terms of the complex of active ingredients, since they contain them in greater quantities than those of P. anomala. Hybrid forms of P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’, F1 (P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’ ´ P. peregrina), cultivar ‘Kvazimodo’, created on the basis of these species, are not inferior to the parent species in terms of the content of phenolic compounds, sugars, pigments and ascorbic acid. In the roots, the share of peoniflorin is for P. lactiflora (1.95%),  anomala (1.09%), P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’ (0.95%), P. officinalis (0.78%). The studied species, hybrids and cultivars are offered for cultivation in the purpose of harvesting medicinal raw materials as a source of biologically active compounds with the possibility of supplementing or even repla­cing the official species of anomalous peony (P. anomala).

The article presents the results of research of the chemical composition of easily volatile components in the leaves of nine taxa representing species and varieties of the genus Citrus L. cultivated under the conditions of greenhouses of the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus as: C. unshiu (Tanaka ex Swingle) Marcow., C. grandis Osbeck cv. Bogatyr, C. sinensis Osbeck cv. Washington Navel, C. medica L. cv. Sarcodactilis, C. medica cv. Pavlovskiy Shishkan, Lemon Skernevitsky (’Ponderosa lemon’) is a clone of the hybrid C. medica L. × C. limon (L.) Burm. f., Citrofortunella microcarpa, C. limon (L.) Osbeck cv. Pavlovskiy, C.meyeri (Ju. Tanaka). The volatile components were extracted using a Supelco™ solid-phase microextractor placed in the vapour-air space above air-dried, finely ground and heated to 40 °C leaf samples. The component composition of the extracts was analyzed by the GC/MS method using the Agilent Technologies 6850 Series II system (Network GC System/5975B (VL MSD). Total 36 components were identified in the leaves of citrus plants: monoterpenes (14), sesquiterpenes (11), and oxygen-containing compounds: terpene alcohols, aldehydes, ethers (11). The studies have shown that the cyclic hydrocarbons monoterpene (Z)-β-trans-Ocimene and 3 sesquiterpenes (β-caryophyllene, (3E, 6E)-α-farnesene, and α-caryophyllene) were detected in the volatile components in leaves in the whole citrus group. While 2 sesquiterpenes: (3E,6E)-α-farnesene and α-caryophyllene are dominant for the most taxa based on their proportions in the total volume of volatile compounds. Sesquiterpene beta-Elemene is present as a dominant component exclusively in species and varieties representing the so-called “sweet citrus” group as it follows from the results of the studies: C. unshiu, C. grandis cv. Bogatyr, C. sinensis× cv. Washington Navel, C. meyeri, which allows one to consider it as a significant feature in the taxonomy of the genus Citrus L.

The review summarizes data on biologically active compounds of Achillea nobilis L. and methods of their isolation. From Achillea nobilis L., collected in different places of growth, the following have been isolated: essential oil, the main components of which are monoterpene compounds; sesquiterpene lactones estafiatin, hanphyllin, anobin, chrysartemine A, canin, anolide and tanapartin-β-peroxide; the steroid acetyleucanbin; flavonoids: 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,4’-tetramethoxyflavone and 5,3’-di-hydroxy-3,6,7,4’-tetramethoxyflavone. It has been determined that the component composition of the essen-tial oil of Achillea nobilis L. largely depends on the soil and climatic factors in the places of its growth, the phase of the growing season and the method of its extraction from plant raw materials, and the extractant used (chloroform, ethanol, hot water, diethyl ether). Antibacterial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiparasitic activi-ties are characteristic both for the sums of extractive substances from Achillea nobilis L. and for individual compounds isolated from them. Methods for the isolation of biologically active substances from Achillea nobilis L. for the development of new drug substances are described. The main aim of this work was a com-parative analysis of the available research results on the phytochemical study of Achillea nobilis L.

Microalgae are a group of autotrophic microorganisms that live in marine, freshwater and soil ecosystems and produce organic substances in the process of photosynthesis. Due to their high metabolic flexibility, adaptation to various cultivation conditions as well as the possibility of rapid growth, the number of studies on their use as a source of biologically valuable products is growing rapidly. Currently, integrated technologies for the cultivation of microalgae aiming to isolate various biologically active substances from biomass to increase the profitability of algae production are being sought. To implement this kind of development, the high productivity of industrial cultivation systems must be accompanied by the ability to control the biosynthesis of biologically valuable compounds in conditions of intensive culture growth. The review considers the main factors (temperature, pH, component composition, etc.) that affect the biomass growth process and the biologically active substance synthesis in microalgae. The advantages and disadvantages of existing cultivation methods are outlined. An analysis of various methods for the isolation and overproduction of the main biologically active substances of microalgae (proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, pigments and vitamins) is presented and new technologies and approaches aimed at using microalgae as promising ingredients in value-added products are considered.
