In recent years, herbal medicines have become increasingly popular for the treatment of many diseases because they have a complex and multifactorial influence on the body. Fatty and organic acids are important groups of biologically active substances for the improvement of many pathological human’s conditions. Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Schultz Bip.) is a promising source of biologically active substances with many years of success in medicine and insufficiently studied chemical composition. The analysis of fatty and organic acids is one of the directions of our comprehensive study of the feverfew herb grown in Ukraine. The aim of the work was to conduct a study of the qualitative composition and quantitative content of fatty and organic acids in the feverfew herb grown in Ukraine. For the study, we used the feverfew herb, which was grown in the scientific fields of the Botanical Garden of the National University of Ukraine (2019). The studies were carried out by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometric method on an Agilent Technologies 6890N chromatograph with a 5973 mass spectrometric detector. 35 carboxylic acids were found and identified in the samples. Among them 21 acids are saturated, 5 are unsaturated and 9 are aromatic. The total content of carboxylic acids in feverfew herb was 26.54 mg/g. Among the identified fatty and organic acids in the feverfew herb the greatest amount of the following acids was observed: succinic (4.89 mg/g), levulinic (4.34 mg/g), citric (2.73 mg/g), palmitic (2.15 mg/g), linoleic (1.71 mg/g), oxalic (1.53 mg/g) and linolenic (1.07 mg/g) acids. Among the aromatic acids in the feverfew herb the dominant compounds were p-coumaric (2.4%), benzoic (1.89%) and ferulic (1.40%). For the first time, a chromatography-mass spectrometric determination of the qualitative composition and quantitative content of organic and fatty acids in feverfew herb collected in Ukraine was carried out. The data obtained indicate a varied composition and rich content of acids in domestic raw materials and will be used to create medicines based on the feverfew herb.

The research presents the results of experimental studies of the influence of various physicochemical factors (phonophoresis, electrophoresis, electrospray, diffusion, etc.) on the rate of transport of biologically active substances through the protective layer of hatchig eggs shell of crossbred Haysex Brown. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of the use of physicochemical methods of transportation of biologically active substances through the shell of hatching eggs of chickens. For the experiment, three batches of eggs were formed, which were obtained from layer hens Haysex Brown, 144 pieces in each experimental group. The kinetic parameters of BAS transport through bioceramic protective barriers of eggs were calculated based on the determination of BAS concentration on the surface and inside the egg by mass spectrometric method (mass spectrometer with ionization of 252Cf fission fragments "MSBH", (Ltd "SELMI", Sumy, Ukraine). The degree of permeability of bioceramic layers of the shell relative to the model gas mixture which is identical to the atmospheric air was studied by the method of V. Breslavets et other and the mass spectrometric method (gas mass spectrometer "MX 7304A"). Electron microscopic studies were performed on a scanning electron microscope REMMA-102; Visilog 6.11 (Noesis, Belgium) was used to process the obtained digital images to determine the number of shell microdefects per unit area of the digital image. It has been experimentally proved that to increase the efficiency of transport of biologically active substances (BAS) through the bioceramic layers of the shell of hatching eggs of Loman Brown hens, it is advisable to use ultrasonic treatment (phonophoresis, sonophoresis), substances - enhancers, including plant terpenes (L-menthol), DMSO and cyclodextrin. Phonophoretic treatment of hatching eggs increases the hatchability of eggs by 7.6%. At the same time, the gas permeability of the bioceramic layer increases significantly (by 0.43. 10-4 m3 / m2 s).

Objective: Now, five crude herbal drugs (CHD) of fruit morphological group (fruits) related to Rosaceae family included in the Russian State Pharmacopoeia XI and XIII editions: Fructus Rosae (Rosa cinnamomea L. and other species), Fructus Crataegi (Crataegus sanguinea Pall. and other species), Fructus Sorbi (Sorbus aucuparia L.), Fructus Rubi (Rubus idaeus L.), and Fructus Aroniae (Aronia melanocarpa [Michx.] Elliott).The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of freezing and oven drying on the composition and content of individual groups of biologically active substances (BAS) in Rosaceae fruits.Methods: The groups of BAS were investigated by UV spectrophotometry (flavonoids and anthocyanins), galvanostatic coulometry titration (organic acids), gravimetry (polysaccharides), and titration with potassium permanganate (tannins).Results: The relation between content of BAS (total free organic acids, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins, total tannins, and total polysaccharides) and fruits conservation method was determined. In frozen fruits total polysaccharides, total free organic acids, ascorbic acid content decreases by 5–7%, total flavonoids and total tannins content - 10–15%, total anthocyanins content - 25–30%. Fruits oven drying at 60–80°C leads to more significant losses of total anthocyanins, ascorbic acid, and total free organic acids.Conclusion: The study of BAS stability in frozen and dried fruits was lasting for 12 months. The duration of shelf life for frozen fruits is recommended. Freezing as a conservation method allows to preserve more BAS in Rosaceae fruits. Frozen CHD can be proposed as an alternative to fresh and dried СРВ for the preparation of allopathic and homeopathic medicines.

Recently, there has been a high demand from the population for dietary supplements that have antioxidant activity. First of all, these are dietary supplements with green tea leaf extract, because green tea contains catechins in a fairly high amount. Nowadays, according to the current legislation of Ukraine the qualitative composition and quantitative content of biologically active substances in dietary supplements are not established, which to a certain extent affects the quality and safety of these products. The aim of the study was to determine the qualitative composition and quantitative content of some groups of BAS in dietary supplements with green tea leaf extract. Materials and methods. Three dietary supplements from different manufacturers “Green Tea Extract”, “Green Tea Extract”, “Green Tea” were chosen for the study. Qualitative analysis was performed by thin layer chromatography, for quantification spectrophotometry in the UV-region was used. Results. The presence of catechins was found in the studied dietary supplements, caffeine was found only in trace amounts. The total content of catechins is 146.80 ± 1.36 mg, 79.00 ± 0.88 mg, 28.00 ± 0.75 mg, and in terms of green tea extract, which is stated in dietary supplements for dietary supplements “Green Tea Extract”, “Green Tea Extract”, “Green Tea”, respectively. Conclusions. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of some groups of BAS of three dietary supplements with green tea leaf extract was performed. It was found that dietary supplements “Green Tea Extract” and “Green Tea” meet the requirements of the US Pharmacopoeia 38 in terms of catechins. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the problem of compliance with dietary supplements is relevant today and requires the introduction of regulatory documentation for the detection and determination of biologically active substances in dietary supplements.
