The article presents data on the content of phenolics and rosmarinic acid in 32 species of aromatic and medicinal plants from Lamiaceae, Asteraceae and Apiaceae families, native to the South Coast of the Crimea. The concentration of phenolic compounds in the studied species was 490.3 - 18511.0 mg/100g of plant raw materials. Rosmarinic acid was found in 15 species from Lamiaceae and Asteraceae families. Rosmarinic acid was not noticed in the studied plants from Apiaceae family. The concentration of rosmarinic acid in the studied plants amounted to 40.6 - 2535.5 mg/100g of plant raw materials. On the basis of the obtained results such species as Origanum vulgare L., Majorana hortensis Moench., Mentha longifolia L., Thymus vulgaris L. (thymol type) can be considered as a promising source of rosmarinic acid.

The article presents active parts of Tribulus terrestris L. as a perspective sample for study. We have provided an example of flavonoids determination with high-performance liquid chromatography / MS at the Waters Acquility chromatographer with tandem quadrupolar MS-detector TQD (Waters).

One of the indices of industrial waste safety including distillers grains is chemical oxygen demand (COD), and its value (53591÷64184 mg O/dm 3) shows that it can be considered as unsustainable waste. This high value of COD is conditioned by the absence of toxins in distillers grains, and by concentration of biologically active substances after which isolation the distillers grains index lowers by 74%. This allows considering the distillers grains as environmentally safe. The results received evidence the necessity for consideration of COD index only as an index of oxidized substances, but not the criteria of waste pollution.

The article presents the data about the possibility of joint use of vinpocetine with amber acid, solubility of vinpocetine improvement and the methods of their analysis in joint use.

Laser Doppler flowmetry was used to investigate the palatal muscosa capillary blood-flow in children aged 4.5-9 years with crowded teeth undergoing treatment with removable orthodontic appliances from cold-cured base polymers. The results obtained from the examination of the capillary blood flow based on the amplitude standard deviation, the variation coefficient, the amplitudes of vasomotor, breathing, and cardiorhythms, as well as the indices for active and passive mechanisms of blood flow modulation at the areas under study, showed that the hemodynamics indices in the palatal muscosa got disturbed a month after the treatment was started while the disturbances went even worse at later stages.

The article is devoted to the problem of phytotherapy pharmaceutical services quality estimation support at the Caucasian Mineral Waters resorts on the basis of quality management.
