<i>ASTRAGALUS GLYCYPHYLLUS L</i>. FATTY AND ORGANIC ACIDS
Aim. To study the fatty and organic acids in Astragalus glycyphyllus L. Materials and methods. The object of this study was a dry-grinded grass of Astragalus glycyphyllus L., prepared in 2016 in Kursk region during the period of mass plant blossoming. The method of gas-liquid chromato-mass-spectrometry was used to study the qualitative composition and quantitative content of fatty and organic acids of the plant. Results. Astragalus glycyphyllus L. contains 19 fatty and 10 organic acids. Fatty-acid composition of Astragalus glycyphyllus L., presented by saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated acids, is characterized by a low coefficient of polyunsaturated acids. Conclusions. The obtained results prove the possibility of using Astragalus glycyphyllus L. in medical and pharmaceutical practice as a source of organic and fatty acids including omega-3 and omega-3-based drugs.
