STUDY OF THE COMPOSITION OF FREE FATTY ACIDS IN THE FRUIT OF NEPETA CATARIA L. FROM THE NON-BLACK SOIL ZONE AND THE CRIMEA

Nepetae catariae herba is valuable medicinal raw material. It get from a cultivated plant. Essential oil used. The fruits are attracting interest as promising material remaining after the unused seed insurance fund. Along with herba, essential fund source of biologically active substances. Fruits contain lipid complex, which not sufficiently studied. aim to study content and composition fatty acids in complex catnip two regions Russian Federation: Non-chernozem belt Republic Crimea. To correlation between acid accumulation meteorological factors too. extracted n-hexane Soxlet apparatus. Fatty was determined methylation by gas-liquid chromatography mass spectrometry detection method. 15 constituents were found. averaged: obtained belt, 26.06±1.3%; Crimea, 38.01±0.7%. Saturated very diverse. Pentadecanoic common all samples. Tridesaturated represented both α-linolenic acid. dominant compound We revealed correlations indicators. Erems ω-3-unsaturated acids.
