FEATURES OF THE ORGANOMINERAL COMPOSITION OF THE CENOPOPULATIONS OF MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE CASPIAN LOWLAND

Abstract

Abstract: The plants growing on the Caspian lowland contain all groups of the studied substances: sugars, tannins and extractives, vitamin C. The conducted studies indicate the prospects of using the studied species as medicinal plant raw materials. It was found that the largest number of low molecular weight BAS contain representatives of the sem. Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Fabaceae, etc. The features of the accumulation of macronutrients in medicinal plants have been established. The study showed that the mass concentrations of chemical compounds have a strong variation in indicators and depend on the type of selected plants and the properties of the functional zone of growth. According to the absolute content of reducing sugars, cumin, thyme, tansy and chamomile were in the first place: 2.09, 1.98 and 1.95%, although the relative amount of reducing sugars in these species is not very large: 24.4, 30.7 and 33.9%, respectively, of the total amount of sugars. Thus, we can note a general trend for the medicinal plants studied by us: an increase in the proportion of reducing sugars relative to the total amount of sugars with a decrease in the absolute content of the sum of sugars in plants. The following plant species turned out to be the richest in ascorbic acid: sandy cumin, esparcet astragalus, camel thorn, naked licorice and Marshall's thyme (19.80 mg%), pharmacy chamomile, cardaria krupkovidnaya, chicory, yarrow (18.20) and sandy immortelle (17.00). It should be noted that this. Aster contains two species rich in tannins: common tansy and sandy immortelle (3.60 and 5.40%), the remaining species have an average content of 1.80%. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that the accumulation of mineral components in the studied medicinal plants is distributed as follows: N(NO3)>K2O>P2O5 and have high levels of variation, this may depend on the species specificity of plants.
