All over the world, widespread 
C. spinosa
plants are used in various sectors of the 
national economy, including medicine. The plant contains a large number of 
biologically active substances with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, blood coagulating 
actions and other properties. Also in the food industry, pickled buds and unripe fruits of 
this plant are widely used as food additives, since it is known from the literature that 
these vegetative organs are rich in high-quality protein substances. The demand for 
pickled buds and unripe fruits of this plant is growing year after year, in this regard, in 
many countries of the world, including Uzbekistan, this plant has been cultivated and 
large plantations of growth have been created. 
The purpose of our study is to study the content of protein substances in various 
organs of 
C. spinosa
cultivated in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The object of the study 
was such vegetative organs of the plant as roots, buds, flowers, seeds and unripe fruits. 
The colorimetric method using Nessler reagent determined the quantitative protein 
content in these plant organs. The results of studies on the determination of protein 
substances in the above-mentioned plant organs are given below.

As can be seen from the data obtained, a significant amount of protein substances 
contains buds and unripe fruits. We have isolated samples of protein substances from 
dried buds and from immature fruits and transferred them for pharmaco-toxicological 
studies.
