Abstract
<p> </p><p><strong>Aim.</strong> Identification and determination of the qualitative composition and quantitative content of fatty acids in the grass of Ajuga reptans.</p><p><strong>Methods of the research.</strong> The study of Ajuga reptans fatty acids was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, which is based on the formation of fatty acid methyl esters with their subsequent determination.</p><p><strong>Results.</strong> The method of chromatography-mass spectrometry was the first to study the fatty acid composition of (Ajuga reptans L.). As a result of a study in the herb of Ajuga reptans , 22 substances were identified, of which 9 fatty acids were identified. The quantitative content was dominated by polyunsaturated fatty acids - linolenic and linoleic and saturated - palmitic. Their total content in terms of the sum of fatty acids was 56.71 % (unsaturated), 28.18 % saturated. A small amount of following substances was detected - stearic, eicosanoic, tetracosanoic, behenic acid (6.65 %).</p><p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> Fatty acids are important biocompounds, which are involved in complex metabolic processes, are important components of lipids and cell membranes in the form of phospholipids, thereby have a large biological role.</p><p>Unsaturated fatty acids were found in significant quantities in the herb of common bugle, the amount of which was 4706.78 mg / kg, which was almost 1.4 times higher than the amount of saturated fatty acids (3380.83 mg / kg). The research results can be used in the development of quality control methods for common bugle raw materials and the preparation of biologically active substances from the studied raw materials</p>
