The phenolic compound content in plants of the family Ericaceae under cryolithozone conditions

Abstract

The content of phenolic compounds in the fruits of various plant species of the family Ericaceae, collected on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) during the fruiting period in July–August, was studied. The study confirms that plants growing in permafrost conditions accumulate large amounts of phenolic compounds. As a result of phytochemical analysis, it was found that the most valuable plant raw material in terms of content of phenolic compounds is Vaccinium uliginosum.
