PROTEINS AND CARBOHYDRATES OF XANTHIUM STRUMARIUM L. FRUITS GROWING IN THE KHOREZM RE-GION

In conditions of strong salinity and sharply continental climate, very hardy plants grow. One of these medicinal plants is durnishnik. The chemical composition of the fruits and seeds of X. Strumarium has not been sufficiently studied. From fruits, cake and flour from fruits and seeds of Xanthium Strumarium L. protein was isolated and the total protein content was determined in the fruits of the plant Xanthium Strumarium L., as well as in the products of their processing after the extraction of oil and toxic substances (glycosides and alkaloids) – whole-fruit cake, fruit flour and flour from seed seeds with a further perspective of considering these objects as feed additives. Water-soluble polysaccharides (VRPS), pectin substances (PV) and hemicellulose (HMC) were isolated from Xanthium Strumarium L. Their qualitative and quantitative monosaccharide composition has been established. Paper chromatography (BX), IR spectroscopy and GC analysis of hydrolysates of samples were carried out. The results of chromatography, IR spectroscopy and GC analysis of hydrolysates of samples are analyzed. The IR spectra of the samples were taken on an IR Fourier spectrometer. GC analysis of hydrolysates was performed on GC Plus2010 chromatograph. For the first time, the protein content in fruits, cake and meal of X. strumarium, growing in the Khorezm region, was determined. Carbohydrate composition of fruits, cake and flour X. The strumarium of the Khorezm region was studied for the first time.
