BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF THE PLANTS FROM THE MOUN-TAIN ALTAI OF THE CARAGANA GENUS

The article presents Data on the content of biologically active compounds (BAC) and total phenolic antioxidants activity (TPA) evaluated for aboveground organs three species from Caragana Genus – C. bungei, pygmaea и spinosa, growing in Mountain Altai. It was determined that leaves reproductive contain flavonols, catechins, tannins, carotenoids, pectin substances. is shown substances a plant are synthesized differently depending species, habitat organ plant. highest level flavonols (36.4 мг/г), tannins (117.2 мг/г) carotenoids (0.56 registered spinosa. Catechins predominantly accumulated (up to 211.3 mg/100g) inflorescences bungei 205 mg/g). quite high, with biggest share protopectins. protopectins (5.81%) (3.58%). Pectins more flowers (0.74%) spinosa (0.49%). values antioxidant were found water–ethanol extracts (1.61 mg/g), which probably due increased tannins. plants 71% by 62% 41% carotenoids. promising finding sources antioxidants.
