AMINO ACID, FATTY ACID AND VITAMIN COMPOSITION OF ROSA CANINA L.

Abstract

The genus rose hips, or rose (Rosa L.), belongs to the Rosaceae family. It has many cultural forms, bred under the general name Rose. Now, more than 400 species of rose hips known. Usually these are erect shrubs, less often lianas, sometimes-low tree-like forms or almost herbaceous plants. Rosehip is common in the temperate and subtropical zones of the Northern Hemisphere, it can often found in the mountainous regions of the tropical belt. Some types of rose hips distributed from the Arctic Circle in the north to Ethiopia in the south. On the American continent - from Canada to Mexico. The most favorable conditions for Rosehip are in the Mediterranean region. Several species of the genus Rosehip have a wide distribution area. Kazakhstan possesses significant resources of medicinal plant raw materials. Among the most priority representatives of the wild flora are species of the wild rose genus - Rosa L. as the most valuable medicinal plant. In total, 21 species of wild rose grow in the republic, including 5 in Central Kazakhstan: R. glabrifolia - w. naked, R. laxa Retz. - w. loose, R. acicularis Lindl. - (w. Spiny), R. majalis Herrm. (R. cinnamomea L.) - w. May (w. cinnamon) and R. pimpinellifolia L. (R. spinosissima L.) - w. femoral. Kazakh species of the genus Rosa L Rosehip fruits distinguished by a high content of biologically active substances and are widely used in medicine. Plant raw materials collected in the southern region of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Almaty region). The crushed air-dry raw material was extracted with hexane and chloroform in a raw material-reagent ratio (1:10) in a Soxhlet apparatus. Plants of the genus Rosa are rich in vitamins A, C, E and group B, and also contain sugars, flavonoids, saponins, phytosterols, glycosides, tannins, organic acids, amygdalin, essential oils. Thus, rosehip is a promising raw material for the creation of domestic medicines. This article examines the study of the quantitative composition of amino acids and vitamins in the fruits of the species of the genus Rosa widespread in Kazakhstan in the supercritical extract, isolated and the fruits of the Rosa canina plant, in order to establish the possibility of using and with the subsequent cultivation of the selected species.
