Abstract

Results of biochemical research of two Siberian species of genus Nitraria L. - N. schoberi L. and N. sibirica Pall. are presented. It is established that leaves and fruits of plants contain a rich complex of biologically active substances: fl avonols, tannins, catechins, anthocyans, pectin substances, sugars and possess antioxidative activity. Almost on all biochemical indices leaves and fruits N. sibirica surpass in N. schoberi. Both species represent defi nite interest for medical and food industry. Researches of biologically active substances N. schoberi and N. sibirica growing in Siberia are spent for the fi rst time.
