Comparison of ascorbic and citric acid contents inRosa canina L. fruit growing in the Central Asian region

The evaluation ofRosa canina L. fruits and their products is depended in part on their organic acid contents. In this study, ascorbic and citric acid contents inRosa canina L. fruits collected from five different regions in Central Asia were investigated. Amounts of acids determined with the HPLC method were found to be 0.048–0.1143 g/100 g for ascorbic acid and 5.9–7.5 g/100 g for citric acid. Presented at the Third International Symposium on the Chemistry of Natural Products (Bukhara, Uzbekistan, October 19–22, 1998). Deceased.

Isomers of plamitoleic acid in lipids and volatile substances from the fruits ofZiziphus jujuba

Fatty acid from the dried pulp ofZiziphus jujuba Mill. Contain 33 components with a chain length from 7 to 28 carbon atoms and approximately equal ratio of total saturated and unsaturated, mainly monoenic, acids; among them, the isomers of palmitoleic acid 16:1(7) and 16:1(9) predominate, and sixteen fatty acids of the mixture, including 12:0, 16:0, 14:1(9).Published in Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 4, 449–451, July–August, 1999.
