The level of bioactive substances is influenced by a combination of factors that characterize the environment, such as geographic location, climatic characteristics, fertility, moisture, type, and composition of soils. In this work, we investigated the dependence of the content of phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid on the place of growth in the aerial parts of two plant species Chenopodium album & Bidens pilosa growing in four different agro-climatic regions of the Republic of Burundi. According to our research results, the content of the studied compounds in the medicinal plants Chenopodium album and Bidens pilosa differed depending on place of growth. It was found that for the plant Chenopodium album, from Kirimiro region has the most suitable conditions for the accumulation of phenolic compounds, and the Bugesera region for the accumulation of ascorbic acid. For Bidens pilosa, the conditions of the Buragane region are most favorable for the accumulation of flavonoids and tannins, and Kirimiro - for soluble phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid. It is shown that the conditions of the same place affect differently the content of biologically active compounds in different plant species.

Introduction. Currently, herbal medicines are becoming increasingly popular. In this regard, of particular interest are medicinal herbal preparations based on rosehip fruits, which have a tonic, choleretic and wound healing effect due to the presence of ascorbic acid, flavonoids and carotenoids. According to the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation (SP RF) of the XIV edition, the determination of the main groups of biologically active substances (BAS) by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is carried out only by the presence of ascorbic acid, while the sensitivity of the method does not allow it to be detected in rosehip fruits of low-vitamin species.Aim. Aim is the development of new approaches to control quality and standardization of Rosehip fruits with using of modern pharmacognostic analysis methods.Materials and methods. Prepared in Samara Region, the Republic of Mari El Rosehip fruits samples in 2020 and commercial samples from various manufacturers. TLC, UV/Vis-spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods were used for determination the main BAS groups.Results and discussion. The introduction of flavonoids as one of the definitioned groups of BAS in rosehip fruits along with ascorbic acid was justified. A technique for the identification of ascorbic acid by UV/Vis-spectroscopy (wavelength 264 ± 2 nm) was developed and shown the determination possibility of this substance by HPLC.Conclusion. So phytochemical study results the expediency of the using of modern approaches to quality control and standardization of rosehip fruits, consisting in the qualitative determination of ascorbic acid by UV/Vis-spectroscopy and HPLC, as well as rutin by TLC, was justified.

The paper presents comparative data on the content of biologically active in the vegetative organs of Iris hybrida cultivar Coronation. First described the results of a study of the contents of the spare substances (sugar, starch), saponins, ascorbic acid, pectin (pectin, protopectin), phenolic compounds (catechins, flavonols) in leaves and rhizomes of plants of the variety Coronation. The quantitative content of the main groups of substances in underground and aboveground organs during the growing season, flowering and fruiting. Found that the presence of ascorbic acid in the leaves of Iris hybrida varieties of Coronation higher than in the rhizomes in 10–24 times during the growing season, 5.4–9 times the period of flowering, 2.5 to 6.3 times in the period of fruiting. The pectin content was 2–8 times less than protopectin in leaves and rhizomes of plants. Catechins differed in minor content (0.014–0.48%). Saponins in the leaves (21.86–30.27%) and rhizomes (14.86–30.27%) showed high content in the period of regrowth and flowering in cool-moist 2013–14 Sugars in the leaves found in 5–14 times more than the rhizomes during the period of fruiting. The pre-winter amount of starch in the rhizomes were relatively stable and had high rates from 17.5 to 28.3% in all years of observations. The identified variability is biologically active and spare substances in the vegetative organs of Iris hybrida varieties of Coronation in connection with seasonal development.

The use of whole citrus fruits in the food industry means that the valuable peel is used, but this may raise palatability or health concerns among consumers. The content of sugars, dietary fibre, redox compounds, lead, and cadmium was compared in citrus fruits (orange; pomelo; mandarin; lemon; key lime; and red, yellow, and green grapefruit). The pulp of all fruits contained significantly less fibre, tannins, and phenolic compounds than the peel. Whole citrus fruits had significantly lower content of sugars and higher content of dietary fibre and phenolic compounds, including ferulic acid, than their pulps. Whole grapefruits had higher concentrations of ascorbic acid. Whole lemons, limes, and mandarins had higher antioxidant potential than their pulp, due to their higher content of ascorbic acid, tannins, and phenolic compounds. Lead and cadmium content in whole fruits, while higher than in the pulps, was well below the acceptable daily intake.

Production of plant products, including juices around the world increases continuously. In the fruit and vegetable juices contain a significant amount of monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), organic acids, vitamins, phenolic compounds, mineral substances and other biologically active components that determine the nutritional and dietary value. For the prevention of various diseases associated with impaired metabolic processes, we developed a new technology of preparation of food by blending juice of pumpkin, quince and persimmon. Thus prepared organic blended juice contains a substantial amount of free glucose and fructose, different phenolic compounds, a sufficient amount of organic acids, mineral elements, including iodine and other components that determine its nutritional and biological value. In prepared juices were evaluated the quantitative indicators of β-carotene, vitamin C, glucose and fructose, sucrose, starch, pectin substances. Also in the atomic absorbtion spectrometer Analyst 400 (PerkinElmer, USA) was analyzed content of the organic acids and phenolic compounds. Prepared juices were tested in accordance with 10 point scoring scale. It is established that all juices contain a sufficient amount of the minerals. In pumpkin and quince juices not contain iodine while it presents in sufficient amount in persimmon juice that’s why in the blended juice mineral in addition to mineral elements iodine are contained. In pumpkin and persimmon aliphatic acids are contained in small amount. For this reason during the blending process was used quince juice which is rich in aliphatic acids. The blended juice is light straw color, with delicious flavor, a slight astringent property and a balanced taste.
