Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine the content of lipids and some biologically active substances in the seeds of hypericum perforatum L. , Zea mays L. and overground plants of Equisetum orvense L. ; from the investigated objects there was obtained the sums of neutral and polar lipids with the expedient percent (%) outcome. There is established common classes in them, there is analysed some physical - chemical constants, there was used GC mas-spectroscopic analytical methods. In the sums of neutral lipids qualitafively and quantitatively were identified saturated, unsaturated and polyunsaturated fetty acids with high per cent content. In the suns of polar lipids quantitatively and quantitativel are confirmed phospholipids.On the basis of investigatios in the definited objicts the were established consist of some biologically active compounds- carotenoids and aminoacids.
