of 2021 within the territory of environmental research
department «Burkuty» (hereinafter PNDV «Burkuty»), which is a
territorial component of the national nature park «Oleshkivsky sands». The
expediency of obtaining a preparation with antimicrobial and colouring
properties based on St. John’s wort, which grows in the Kherson region, has
been substantiated. A technological scheme has been developed for
obtaining a powdery final form of a preparation based on St. John’s wort –
preparation «Kh HP» for the food industry. The composition of the obtained
preparation was identified by the methods of qualitative analytical
analysis, thin layer chromatography and infrared spectroscopy.
