Phytochemical study of leaves and inflorescences of two genus Sorbus L. species native for the Ukrainian flora

Rowan species (genus Sorbus L., Rosaceae Juss.) are widespread in the Northern Hemisphere under different climatic and ecological conditions. Recent molecular-phylogenetic studies confirmed that genus L. is polyphyletic must be divided into segregate genera. Accordingly, native for Ukrainian flora domestica torminalis (L.) Crantz., having very distant morphological features of vegetative generative organs, belong to In this regard we assumed chemotaxonomic importance specificity phenolic content composition two indicated rowan species. Young leaves inflorescences S. were collected Botanical Garden Oles Honchar DNU May 2023. Analyses isopropanol plant extracts revealed higher levels total (2.5 times), flavonoids (1.5 times) acids (3.2 as well ferric-reducing power (1.2 antioxidant capacity (1.7 domestica, compared leaves. general, accumulated phenols, than inflorescences, while opposite ratio was found torminalis. Study results polyphenols However, more detailed investigations necessary establish correlation between individual compounds features.
