Mentha longifolia
(L.) Huds.
-
Long leaf mint, a plant cultivated in Africa, Asia,
Europe, the North Caucasus, Western Siberia and used as a condiment agent, in making
a green cheese and a source of essential oil, which used in pharmaceutical, perfume,
confectioners, alcoholic and soap fields of industry.
Protein research is important for the development of an integrated use of plant raw
materials. The leaves of this species, collected in the Tashkent region during the period of
rapid growth, the waste of leaves after the removal of lipophilic and semi-polar fractions, as
well as the waste of leaves and flowers collected during the flowering period and after the
removal of lipophilic and semi-polar fractions, have investigated.
The quantitative protein content of the above specimens has determined by an
accelerated colorimetric method under laboratory conditions using the Nessler reagent
on the spectrophotometer V-5000 Metach [1]. The results of the analysis are presented
in the table.
