Abstract

Common juniper is widespread in the European North. However, juniper is poorly studied in relation to the fact that the content of certain bioactive substances depends on the plant species and the climatic conditions of its growth. The results of studying juniper (growing in Arkhangelsk region) extractives soluble in petroleum ether, ethanol and hot water are presented. The composition of volatile extractives was determined by chromatomass spectrometry. It was found that the terpenic series compounds tend to prevail in the ethanolic extract of Juniperus communis L. wood greenery; among them are α-pinene (14.14 %), thunbergol (9.39 %), ∆3-carene (2.64 %), and β-phellandrene (2.02 %). Studying the dynamics of essential oil accumulation in wood greenery of common juniper during various months of the year has shown that its content varies depending on seasonality (2.3–3.3 % a.d.s.). The essential oil basis is oxygen-containing derivatives of terpenes: T-muurolol (11.11 %), spathulenol (5.13%), α-cadinol (3.02 %), thunbergol (2.66 %), nerolidol (2.60 %). The undertaken studies of pigment complex of wood greenery have shown that common juniper is characterized by relatively low quantitative indicators of carotenoids and chlorophylls a and b in the northern taiga.
