Echinace from the Asteracea family has been among the top 10 marketed herbs in North America and Europe. So far, only a limited amount of Echinace originate from commercial cultivation. Echinacea purpurea has been commercially cultivated in the United States since the mid 1970s, in Russia since 1935, while in Europe since the 1960s. However, there has been no published information in the English language on methods of cultivation, expected yields, limiting factors, nutrient requirements, and the optimum plant development stage to obtain maximum yield and concentration of the biologically active substances for pharmaceutical and cosmetic processing. The objective of this investigation was, therefore, to study the general distribution of major nutrients and biologically active substances and the relationship between the two groups, and the pattern of the accumulation of cichoric acid, echnacoside, isobutylamides (tetraenes) and essential oil in commercially cultivated Echinacea purpurea. There was a significant variation in the content of essential oil, cichoric acid, and isobutylamides (tetraenes) in different organs and stages of the plant development. Similarly, the difference in the distribution of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and Fe in different organs and developmental stages is demonstrated. The correlation between the content of the active substances and nutrients is demonstrated, while recommendations for an optimum harvesting stage and date are made.

Abstract. The purpose of the research was to study the quality of Elsholtzia stauntonii Benth. raw materials grown in the foothill zone of the Crimea. In the course of the research, we studied such indicators as the content of essential oil and other types of biologically active substances (BAS), which allow using elsholtzia as an essential oil, food, or medicinal raw materials. Research methods. Determination of the quality of E. stauntonii raw materials was carried out according to generally accepted methods. Results. Peculiarities of the accumulation of essential oil in various organs of E. stauntonii were determined. The variability of the mass fraction of essential oil, its component composition and BAS depending on the plant’s growth stage is shown. We found that the main oil-synthesizing organs of E. stauntonii are leaves and inflorescences. The largest amount of essential oil (1.82 %) was obtained from inflorescences. In the fractional composition of raw materials, they amounted to 45.6 %. The maximum amount of essential oil with the dominant components (rosefuran and rosefuran epoxide) accumulated in plants during the phase of mass flowering (1.48 % in terms of absolutely dry weight). The highest content of BAS, namely phenolic compounds, accumulated in the stage of active growth of vegetative and the formation of generative organs of plants (regrowth and bud formation); extractives – in the stage of regrowth. During two years of storage of air-dry raw materials, there is a loss of essential oil as a result of its evaporation (54.0 %) and a change in its component composition (an increase in monoterpene derivatives of furan by 26.6 % and a decrease in sesquiterpene hydrocarbons by 23.5 %). To store air-dry raw materials of E. stauntonii for more than two years is not, however, reasonable because of significant losses of essential oil. Scientific novelty. The quality of raw materials of E. stauntonii variety Rozovoe oblako, which was grown in the foothill zone of the Crimea, was studied for the first time. Raw materials and essential oil of E. stauntonii have a broad spectrum of biological activity and can be used in medicine, as well as in essential oil and food industries.

Hyssopus officinalis L. is a promising essential oil plant of complex use containing various types of biologically active substances (BAS). The purpose of the research was twofold: study the features of accumulation of various types of BAS in H. officinalis plants grown in the foothill zone of the Crimea; assess the possibility to use them in perfumery, cosmetics, food industry, pharmacy and medicine. The research was conducted in 2017–2019 in the FSBSI “Research Institute of Agriculture of Crimea”. The raw materials of H. officinalis (population with blue flowers) grown without irrigation served as the research material. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of raw materials and different types of BAS were determined according to generally accepted methods. Structural analysis of H. officinalis showed that the aboveground part of plants during the growing season had the following fractional composition: leaves (21.4–70.6 %), stems (18.8–30.9 %), inflorescences (22.0−59.1 %). The ratio of fractions by phases of vegetation varied, namely: in the phase of regrowth, leaves prevailed – 70.6 % but, at the end of the flowering, their content decreased to 21.4 %; the content of inflorescences reached its maximum in the phases of mass flowering and end of flowering 53.3–59.1 %. The main oil-synthesizing organs of H. officinalis were leaves and inflorescences. The highest yield amount of H. officinalis essential oil was obtained from inflorescences (1.94 %), which in the fractional composition of the raw material amounted to 53.3 %. The maximum amount of essential oil of specific quality accumulated in plants during the phase of mass flowering (1.26 % in terms of absolutely dry weight). The dominant components of essential oil are ketones: isopinocamphone and pinocamphone (75.9–78.6 %). A high level of phenolic compounds was determined in the phases of regrowth and flowering; extractive substances – in the budding phase; tannins – in the phase of mass flowering. During the storage of air-dry raw materials for two years, insignificant losses of essential oil occur (up to 20.2 %); its component composition changes (hydrocarbons amount decreased by 2.5–22.7 %; ketones – increased by 3.4–16.2 %). The content of other types of BAS during storage of raw materials increased by 10–30 %. Therefore, it is advisable to store air-dry raw materials of Hyssopus officinalis for two years or longer.

The use of the full potential of grain and leguminous crops laid down in them by nature is an important task in addressing the issues of balanced nutrition of the population, because food products based on these crops satisfy up to 70% of the daily human need for proteins, fats and carbohydrates, micro and macro elements, biologically active substances and remain the most affordable for all categories of consumers. Moreover, the preservation of all macro-, micronutrients, biologically active substances of the source grain remains a serious problem, because in the traditional approach to grain processing, the content of these components inevitably decreases. In the future, this process continues under the influence of technological parameters at all stages of production and storage of products. An analysis of the production technology of grain foundations showed a number of stages specific to each type of production. At the same time, micronization, extrusion and germination are recognized as the most productive. In preliminary studies, 4 types of grain and leguminous crops were identified as the most promising for the production of grain bases, which were subjected to micronization and extrusion according to the optimal conditions established by water absorption capacity and thermodynamic characteristics. Used the device DSC. Samples of selected cultures were germinated. In micronized, extruded and germinated grain bases, the chemical and vitamin composition is determined. A comparative characteristic revealed a promising method for the production of grain bases, which will be further used in food.

The development of new technological solutions in the field of daily consumed food products, which have a directed corrective impact on the nutritional status of the human body and an extended shelf life is an important and urgent task. One of the alternative solutions to the problem faced is the introduction of flour products (crackers, biscuits, bread), enriched with biologically active substances of plant origin into the daily ration. They are economically accessible to the general population and suitable for sale in a network format, due to significant shelf life. Experimental studies to assess the effect of introduced biologically active substances on the shelf life of flour products through the study of changes in the content and ratio of various forms of bound moisture were carried out in the work. The study of moisture state in flour products was carried out by the method of differential thermal analysis using a synchronous thermal analysis device using thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and non-isothermal kinetics. The objects of research were samples of flour products containing the composition of partially defatted wheat germ flour "Vitazar" and wheat bran, which were additionally added with seaweed powder, soy protein isolate, pea protein isolate, black cumin seed flour. Samples of flour products (biscuits) made according to traditional technology served as controls. A quantitative assessment of the ratio of moisture fractions with various bonds was carried out by the methods of thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and non-isothermal kinetics. The ranges of endothermic effects, indicating stepwise moisture removal, in accordance with the forms and energy of its connection with the experimental samples biopolymers were identified in the work. Comparison of thermal effects characteristics recorded in the process of thermolysis of flour products samples, allows us to state an increase in the chemically bound moisture share in the test samples, as compared with the control sample and, as a result, an increase in shelf life.

The technology for obtaining biologically active substances of a lipoid nature, enriched with omega-3 acids, from waste from the processing of hydrobionts by means of electrochemical hydrolysis and cryoconcentration has been developed. A comparative analysis of the composition of wastes from cutting herring and trout is carried out, and the expediency of their use for obtaining biologically active substances of a lipoid nature is shown. A technological scheme has been developed and fat yields have been determined when it is obtained from fish waste by an electrochemical method. The fatty acid composition of the fat obtained by the electrochemical method has been determined. It was found that cryoconcentrated fat obtained from wastes from trout and herring cutting by the electrochemical method has a significantly increased content of omega-3 acids and, accordingly, biological value compared to edible and medical fish oil from the liver of the cod family. It was found that during cryoconcentration, the concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids increases, reaching values close to 90%, which allows the resulting product to be classified as biologically active additives. It was shown by calculation that to create functional fish-based food products from fish of the salmon family, it is sufficient to introduce 4 g of the obtained biologically active additive per 100 g of the product. There is also an improvement in the organoleptic properties of foods from lean fish species. It has been shown that in order to meet 30% of the recommended daily intake of omega-3 acids in the development of functional food products based on rainbow trout and Atlantic herring, it is necessary to introduce 1.98 g and 1.8 g of cryoconcentrated fish oil. After encapsulation in nanocapsules, the drug will be suitable for enrichment with omega-3 acids in any food products, which is the subject of further research.

The identification of the diversity of microscopic fungi of lithobiont communities of the Argentine Islands in specimens collected during the 22nd Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition was the purpose of this work. Samples of rock, soil, mosses and lichens of rock micro-habitats of “Crustose lichen sub-formation and fruticose lichen and moss cushion sub-formation” were used in the work. These samples were used for extracting and cultivation of filamentous fungi on dense nutrient media. Determination of physiological and biochemical characteristics and identification of yeast-like fungi were performed using a microbiological analyser ‘Vitek-2’ (‘Bio Merieux’, France). Cultivation of microorganisms was carried out at temperatures from +2 to +37 °C. In results cultures of microscopic fungi of Zygomycota (Mucor circinelloides), Ascomycota (species of the genera cf. Tlielebolus, Talaromyces), representatives of the Anamorphic fungi group (Geomyces pannorum, species of the genera Alternaria, Acremonium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium) were isolated from Antarctic samples. Microscopic fungi Penicillium spp. were dominated after the frequency in the studied samples (54.5%). Rhodotorula rubra and Candida sp. among isolated yeast fungi, and dark pigmented fungi represented by Aureobasidium pulhdans and Exophiala spp. were identified. The biological properties of a number of isolated fungi (the potential ability to synthesise important biologically active substances: melanins, carotenoids, lipids) are characterised. Mycobiota of rock communities of Argentine Islands is rich on filamentous and yeast fungi similarly to other regions of Antarctica. A number of fungi investigated are potentially able to synthesise biologically active substances. The dark pigmented species of the genera Cladosporium, Exophiala, Aureobasidium pulhdans, capable of melanin synthesis; ‘red’ yeast Rhodotorula rubra (carotenoid producers and resistant to toxic metals); Mucor circinelloides and Geomyces pannorum, lipid producers, are among these fungi. Yeast-like fungi assimilated a wide range of carbohydrates, which will allow them to be further used for cultivation in laboratory and process conditions. The collection of technologically promising strains of microorganisms, part of the Culture Collection of Fungi at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine), is updated with isolated species (strains) of filamentous fungi and yeast – potential producers of biologically active substances, obtained within this study.
