“…It can be explained by that the coefficients of correlation are significantly decreased at 40 min compared to 30 min. Moreover, such a time was also established for the extracts of Schizandra chinensis according to the same analytical technique [37].…”

The physicochemical characteristics of phycocyanin extracted from cyanobacteria collected in Kaunas Lagoon were studied (spectrum characteristics, C-PC content in the dry mass and chemical purity). It was determined that the tested concentrations of C-PC in purified water should be in the range of 0.02–0.16% for measuring C-PC content in the dry mass and its spectrum characteristics. The two clear absorption maxima were detected in the spectrum of C-PC at the wavelengths of 277 and 619 nm. The content of C-PC in the dry powder form was in the range of 7.25% to 9.30% depending on its concentration in the solution and type of spectrophotometer. Furthermore, a purity factor of 1.5 was calculated, which indicated the food qualification of the obtained biomass of C-PC. Finally, the analytical procedure for studying the pro- and anti-oxidant activity of C-PC was developed and the antioxidant activity of C-PC was measured for the available markers. It was revealed that C-PC has dual properties (pro- and anti-oxidant ones) depending on its concentration, more exactly, its content in reaction mixtures with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The following issues were resolved during the research: the concentration of ethanol in the DPPH solution was chosen in order to avoid precipitation of proteins in the reaction mixtures (50%); the ratio of the solution of C-PC to the DPPH solution was selected; the selected concentrations of the markers for the construction of their calibration curves were chosen for quercetin and for rutin. The antioxidant activity of the obtained C-PC sample was determined. Keywords: antioxidant activity, C-phycocyanin, cyanobacteria, DPPH, quercetin, rutin

Aim. The aim of the study was to develop the methodical approach to determine the antioxidant activity of the tinctures of Monarda fistulosa herb and flowers and roots of Echinacea purpurea, as well as to develop their technology in laboratory conditions. Materials and Methods. The following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, systematization, and comparison for processing of published scientific data on antioxidant activity; method for measuring the particle size of raw herbal materials; maceration and remaceration methods for obtaining the tested tinctures; DPPH test for the valuation of the antioxidant activity of the developed tinctures. Results and Discussion. The methodical approach to determining the antioxidant activity of the tinctures of Monarda fistulosa herb and flowers and roots of Echinacea purpurea was elaborated, the essence of which consisted in the selection of the appropriate dilution of the tinctures. Tinctures were prepared with the help of maceration or/and remaceration in laboratory conditions. The ratios of herbal raw materials (HRM) to the final tincture were close to ratios that are widely employed in the pharmaceutical industry, namely 1 to 5 and 1 to 10. The coefficients of alcohol absorption for the roots of Echinacea purpurea (size 2-5 mm), flowers of Echinacea purpurea (size 1-3 mm), herb of Monarda fistulosa (size 0.5-3 mm) were measured. They were measured as 1.2, 2.25, and 5.0 ml/g, respectively, for 70% ethanol. The studies revealed that Echinacea purpurea tinctures are a valuable source of antioxidant compounds. The antioxidant activity of these tinctures was 254.8-815.8 mg rutin-equivalents in 1 L of the tinctures or 1.12-4.43 mg rutin-equivalents in 1 g of the HRM depending on the part of the plant, particle size and extraction type. The antioxidant activity of the tinctures of the Monarda fistulosa herb was equal to 2203.6 mg eq-rutin/L and 20.3 mg eq-rutin/g for the tincture and HRM at a ratio of 1 to 9.5 and 2119.4 mg eq-rutin/L and 9.7 mg eq-rutin/g for the tincture at a ratio of 1 to 4.5. Conclusions. The approach to the determination of the antioxidant activity of the tested tinctures was elaborated, namely the dilutions of the tinctures were established for the analytical procedure of the determination of the antioxidant activity. Our studies demonstrated that tinctures of Echinacea purpurea contained compounds with antioxidant activity. The tinctures of Monarda fistulosa herb are very rich in compounds with antioxidant properties. The laboratory technology of six tinctures was elaborated. Further studies will be directed at laboratory studies on microorganisms and animals.
