Introduction.
Pinus is a popular medicinal plant that is
used in several traditional
medicines to cure various diseases. Shoots, buds, bark, roots and wood contain various
active components
with anti-inflammatory, expectorant,
multivitamin and analgesic
properties.
Research methods.
The study material consisted of
Pinus sylvestris
and
Pinus
sibirica
needles collected in 2022 from the city park (Russia, Khanty-Mansi
Autonomous Okrug – Ugra, Surgut). The needles were collected in May (spring) and in
October (autumn) and fixed using natural-air drying at 25 °C for 72h. The dried
needles
were crushed to a particle size of 0.5 - 0.9 mm.
The total content of favonoids (TCF) was estimated using a method based on the
formation of favonoids with aluminium (III) ions. The result was expressed as the rutin
equivalent.
The volume of extract in ml used for titration with 1 ml of 0.05N
potassium
permanganate solution served as an indicator of relative antioxidant activity (AOA).
The result was expressed as the quercetin equivalent.
