[Development and validation of methodology of quantitative determination of sibutramine in dietary supplements by high performance liquid chromatography].

Sibutramine is a highly effective drug for the treatment of obesity. In this regard, unscrupulous manufacturers can add sibutramine as a biologically active synthetic substance prohibited for use in the composition of dietary supplements. Thus, the problem associated with the illegal circulation of such dietary supplements is especially actual, given the scale of the sale of these products.

[Biological value of fruits and berries of Russian production].

Fruits and berries are the most important sources of a wide range of biologically active substances, including vitamin C, carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins. In order to replenish and update data on the content of food and biologically active substances in the tables of the chemical composition of food products, a study of the content of mono- and disaccharides, dietary fiber was carried out; vitamins C, B1, B2 and E, minerals and trace elements; flavonoids (in terms of rutin), anthocyanins; organic and hydroxycinnamic acids, stilbenoids in various varieties of 16 fruit and berry crops. .

[The study of the polyphenolic complex and iridoid glycosides in various cultivars of edible honeysuckle fruits Turcz. ex Freyn].

The high content of minor biologically active substances in the fruits of wild-growing and cultivated varieties of honeysuckle, along with the low knowledge of the chemical composition of domestic varieties, determines the relevance of the study of their qualitative and quantitative composition. of the work was to study the detailed composition of the main groups of biologically active polyphenolic compounds [anthocyanins, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs), proanthocyanidins] and iridoids in various cultivars of domestic edible honeysuckle fruits (Lonicera edulis Turcz. Ex Freyn).

[Nutrient value of fruit in promising strawberry varieties].

One of the current areas in research of fruit and berry crops is the study of their nutritional value and micronutrient composition. Valuable chemical composition of the strawberry determines a wide spectrum of its utilization not only as fresh fruit, but also as a raw material for food industry. Breeding requirements for contemporary strawberry varieties together with yield, large-fruit, important taste and dietary qualities of fruit provide for higher content of biologic active substances.
