Abstract

Aim. To study the component composition of free and total monosaccharides in the raw material of Cetraria islandica (L.) Ach. harvested in Ukraine.
Materials and methods. The component composition of free and total monosaccharides in the raw material was determined by gas chromatography with mass-spectrometric detection (GC-MS).
Results and discussion. Among the free monosaccharides, the presence of D-perseitol, (6.99 mg g–1) and D-mannitol (1.12 mg g–1) was determined. Among the total monosaccharides, the content of D-glucose (203.64 mg g–1) prevailed. D-mannose (53.74 mg g–1), D-galactose (51.71 mg g–1), D-xylose (0.83 mg g–1) and L-rhamnose (0.53 mg g–1) were found in lower quantities, as well as polyatomic alcohols – D-dulcitol (8.46 mg g–1) and D-mannitol (3.10 mg g–1).
Conclusions. For the first time, the component composition of free and total monosaccharides in the raw material of C. islandica harvested in Ukraine has been determined. The results obtained will be used as a component of the comprehensive systematic study of the raw material of C. islandica harvested in Ukraine.
