Abstract

The total content of fatty oil from the raw and dry pulp of sea buckthorn (Hippophae) fruits from the mountainous areas of Georgia (the vicinity of Stephantsminda) was studied. The content was 4.30-21.02% of fatty oil, 12.20-58.38 mg% of carotenoids and 8.70-44.00% of tocopherols (vitamin E) respectively.  Experimental studies have shown the advantage and feasibility of extracting the dry pulp of Georgian sea buckthorn with a volatile solvent compared to the pressing method, in order to obtain an oil rich in biologically active compounds. It has been determined that the obtained sea buckthorn oil is not inferior to the pharmacopeial drug in terms of its physical-chemical parameters and is superior in the content of carotenoids.
