INVESTIGATION OF THE MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF PEACH

As you know, in the global pharmaceutical sector, almost the bulk of manufactured medicines are made from raw materials of medicinal plants. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 80 percent of the world's population uses herbal products. The scientific research conducted by the authors was also aimed at preparing an extract of the leaves of the peach tree, which is considered a medicinal plant in our republic. During the research, the properties of the common peach were revealed, containing biologically active substances, vitamins, menirals, flavanoids and many others of importance for medicine. During the study, the average content of carotenoids in the leaves of ordinary peach was found to be 0.087% ± 0.006 of the quantitative composition, which allows us to conclude that these indicators make it possible to produce medicinal extracts from ordinary peach for use in medicine.
