Determination of the content of phenolic compounds in Sórbus aucupária fruits by nonstandard methods
https://doi.org/10.21323/2618-9771-2026-9-1-25-31
Abstract
Phenolic compounds are important biologically active substances that are responsible for color, taste and aroma of plant raw materials. The paper presents the results of the study of the plant raw material, namely Sórbus aucupária (mountain ash), in terms of the content of phenolic compounds. For investigation, three samples were taken from dried and frozen fruits of mountain ash of the Nevezhinskaya variety each. Methods for the analysis of phenolic compounds in the mountain ash fruits were chosen based on the study of the normative documentation regulating methods for determining biologically active phenolic substances as well as the scientific-technical publications on this theme. Acetone and ethanol were chosen for extraction. Quantification was performed by the photoelectrocolorimetric and titrimetric methods. The comparison of the results obtained by different methods was carried out. It has been established that the highest quantity of phenolic compounds was extracted by ethanol (40%). Frozen mountain ash fruits were found to be the most suitable raw material. The data obtained can be used in the development of the methods for analysis of phenolic compounds in plant raw materials.
