Abstract

Species of the Malva L. family have long been known as technical, fodder, medicinal, food and decorative plants [1]. Annual small-flowered mallows are highly productive, cold-resistant, plastic crops [4]. The medicinal properties of mallow have been established, which is explained by its diverse chemical composition [1, 5-7]. According to phytochemical analysis, plants contain terpenoids, namely: sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, and monoterpenes; coumarins, flavonoids, malvin, malvidin 3-(6-malonylglycoside)-5-glucoside, malvone A (2-methyl-3-methoxy-5,6-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) malvaline, scopoletin, polyphenols, niacin, folic acid, vitamins A, C, E, and tannins. The plant has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, wound-healing, hepatoprotective and antimicrobial effects [5-7].
