Caucasian Rhododendron - perspective of raw material for arbutin production.
2019
The biological properties and the spheres of use of arbutin are considered. The data on the natural sources of arbutin production are given. It is shown that in order to expand the resource base, new plant sources containing arbutin should be found and studied. For this purpose, leaves of the Caucasian rhododendron are a promising raw material. The physical-histochemical characteristics of the rhododendron leaf were studied and their content of arbutin was determined. The simplified express method for the quantitative determination of arbutin has been developed.
