BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF TAGETES PATULA FLOWERS GROWN IN YAKUTIA AND IVANOVO REGION

The biochemical composition of primary and secondary metabolites of Tagetes patula flowers grown on the territory of Yakutia and Ivanovo region was studied. It has been shown that the content of essential nutrients such as proteins, lipids and water-soluble polysaccharides in T. patula flowers varied insignificantly. The qualitative composition of monosaccharides of water-soluble polysaccharides, the amino acid composition of proteins and the fatty acid composition of lipids did not differ in all the studied samples. The monosaccharide composition of water-soluble polysaccharides, the fatty acid composition of lipids, the amino acid composition of the proteins of T. patula flowers grown in Yakutia and the Ivanovo region have been established. In all studied samples of T. patula flowers, the following phenolic compounds were identified: tocopherol, isorhamnetin, laricitrin, quinine, gallic, chlorogenic and ellagic acids, as well as the following terpenoids: stigmasterol, sitosterol, α- and β-amirin. According to the research results, it was shown that the place of collection of T. patula flowers for the subsequent production of biologically active additives from them does not have a significant effect on their biochemical composition.
