Abstract

Garden strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) are widely cultivated on the territory of Russia on industrial plantations and private garden plots to obtain the fruits (berries) of this plant and their use as a valuable food product. When harvesting fruits, other parts of the garden strawberry are not used, however, its vegetative parts are a source of biologically active substances (BAS) and are of interest for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries [1, 4]. The biological activity of garden strawberry leaf extracts is due to the presence of secondary metabolites of a phenolic nature; their content in raw materials reaches more than 3% in some samples [2, 3]. Considering that the main group of biologically active substances of this raw material are flavonoids, the Department of Pharmacognosy with a course of botany conducted research to develop a method for quantitative determination of the amount of flavonoids in terms of rutin. Spectrophotometry was chosen as the optimal method for assessing the content of this group of substances in medicinal plant raw materials - leaves of garden strawberries, which allows determining the amount of flavonoids in terms of the dominant compound and obtaining reliable and reproducible results of quantitative analysis [8, 11]. The technological properties were studied and a therapeutic dose of dry strawberry extract was proposed, optimal compositions were selected and technologies of sachet-granules with dry strawberry extract were developed. The method for the quantitative determination of flavonoids in terms of rutin was validated. The results of the study can be used in the future in the development of draft regulatory documents for sachet-granules with dry strawberry extract of garden leaves and the study of their pharmacological activity.
