This article studies the action and biocompatibility of the developed montmorillonite-containing preparation “Sorbent” on experimental animals with its long-term use. The local irritating effect of the “Sorbent” preparation was evaluated by its effect on the gastric mucosa of animals with experimental...

The aim of this study was to extract the volatile oils from some aromatic plants and to investigate their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The volatile oils were isolated from dried parts of plants by hydro distillation using a neo-Clevenger apparatus. The volatile oils of basil (Ocimum basilicum),...

Wheat germ - a product of deep processing of wheat grain is a native plant component with high nutritional and biological value. Due to the valuable biochemical composition and high functional and technological properties of the wheat germ, it has significant prospects for use in food, confectionery,...

New Russian F1 “Rubinovaya” cultivar of Daucus carota was found to be pink-colored due to biosynthesis of lycopene and β-carotene in relatively high overall level (up to 0.200 mg per 1 g of fresh weight, FW). The typical carotenoid composition of carrot roots with pink color were determined by proposed...

Anthocyanins of red colored leaves of Cercis canadensis L. were found to be 3-glucosides of five common anthocyanidins - of delphinidin, cyaniding, petunidin, peonidin and malvidin with overall accumulation more than 350 mg per 100 g of FW in early summer. The content of anthocyanins gradually drops...

The article deals with studies of the mutual influence of the components of herbs. The research in this area is too difficult because of the lack of an accurate data about chemical composition of natural raw materials. Therefore, the aim of the research was: to study the aspects of chemical composition...

The publication discusses new data about chemistry and application of thiourea dioxide and its sulfur-containing relatives.

The supramolecular complex formation in aqueous solution between fatty acids (with the content of α-eleostearic acid more than 70%) and β-cyclodextrin, βCD, was supported by FT-IR and UV spectroscopies as well as by XRD-analysis. RP HPLC was utilized for investigation of the content of fatty acid in...

Two cultivars of purple carrot ‘Pupur’ and ‘Mayami shokoladnaya” were investigated. Anthocyanins of both cultivars was qualitatively the same – main compound was cyanidin-3-feruloylhexosyl-pentosyl-hexodide, mole fraction of the anthocyanin was approximately 72 % of the overall anthocyanin content of...

In the recent years there is a growing demand for plant origin antioxidants, due to their potential therapeutic value and low level of side effects. Among the plant origin substances, the metabolites with antioxidant activity are the widely used which are mainly belong to the phenolic group of compounds...
