; INTRODUCTION OF AROMATIC PLANTS IN THE BATUMI BOTANICAL GARDEN AND THEIR RESEARCH FOR THE CONTENT OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS.

The research objectives were to study the introduction process of different aromatic and spice plants in the Batumi Botanical Garden and the content of bioactive compounds in aromatic plants introduced and grown in the soil and climatic conditions of the garden.; Among the aromatic plants introduced to the BBG by the authors, the following species are having full vegetative and generative development in the open ground:Cuminum cyminum L.; Polianthes tuberosa L.; Iris pallida Lam.;Geranium macrorrhizum L., Piper suaveolens Ham., Piper piperita L., Thymus citriodorus Schreb., Satureja Montana L., Mentha piperita L., Origanum vulgare L., Mentha longifolia L., Hyssopus officinalis L.; Phyla scaberrima Moldenke, Ruta graveolens L.; Vegetative organs reach the full development, but without blooming:Curcuma longa L..; Zingiber officinale Roscoe.; Elettaria cardamomum Maton.; Coffea arabica L.; Coffea conephera L..; Vanilla planifolia Jacks.; Cassia acutifolia Delile.; For the purpose of studying the content of bioactive compounds in plants introduced to the soil and climatic conditions of the BBG with the help of green technologies, the following species were taken for analysis:Cassia acutifolia Delile. - seed, flower, leaf; Cuminum cyminum L. - seed; Coffea conefera L. andCoffea Arabica L., leaves and seeds; Vanilla planifolia Jacks. - leaves; Elletaria cardamomum Maton. -Cardamom leaves.With the help of gas chromatography - mass spectrometry GC-MS method, there were identified bioactive compounds of various classes. The content of essential oils is identified in all research objects.
