| Popis: | Cornus mas (Cornaceae Dumort.) grows wild and is widely cultivated in Ukraine. The principal active compounds of leaves and fruit of the plant are phenolic compounds, terpenoids, organic acids, carbohydrates, and vitamins [1, 2]. We studied previously phenolic compounds, essential oils, amino acids, and macroscopic and trace elements of this plant [3–6]. The goal of the present work was to study the acid composition of leaves and fruit of C. mas collected in May and September, respectively, 2012, in the NPU Botanical Garden. Raw material was identified based on plants preserved in the herbarium foundation, Pharmacognosy Department, NPU. Carboxylic acids were determined by a modified method [7] on an Agilent Technologies 6890 chromatograph with a 5973 mass-spectrometric detector. Analytical samples were prepared as before [7]. Table 1 presents the results. Fruit of C. mas contained 22 carboxylic acids, of which 12 were fatty and 3, aromatic. Linoleic (2808.9 mg/kg), malic (2584.2), oleic (2468.2), and palmitic (1694.3) were the dominant acids. Leaves of C. mas contained 27 carboxylic acids, of which 15 were fatty and 4, aromatic. Malic (3302.1 mg/kg), 2,4-heptadienoic (2378.4), palmitic (2243.6), citric (873.1), and oxalic (835.2) were the dominant acids. |
