INFLUENCE OF THE COMBINED DRY OF ROSES OF HIPS ON THEIR CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES

Currently, mankind is in great need of biologically active compounds of natural origin. Deteriorating environmental conditions, air pollution, soil depletion, climate change lead to a decrease in immunity, an increase in cardiovascular and oncological diseases, as well as damage to the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system. The heyday of the chemical synthesis of vitamins and bioactive compounds is drawing to a close. The solution to the problem may be the production of environmentally friendly biologically active additives (BAA) from plant materials. Among representatives of the flora of temperate latitudes, one of the most promising candidates for the creation of multivitamin preparations is rose hip. Until the 1930s rosehip was considered a low-value food product due to the large number of seeds and hairs inside the hypanthium. In 1931, F. Gan indicated a high content of vitamin C in fruits [1]. This served as an impetus for large-scale studies of ecological and biological properties, systematics, growing conditions, breeding and agricultural technology, distribution areas of various types and forms of wild rose [2], as well as their chemical composition. Detailed analyzes were carried out by Yu.V. Branke, N.V. Saburov, V.A. Vadova, and mineral elements of fruits were studied [3]. It is established that they are extremely rich in potassium salts, contain a lot of iron, magnesium and phosphorus
