Abstract:
The purpose of our research work was to conduct a qualitative and quantitative investigation of amino acids in the herb of Agrimonia eupatoria. The qualitative amino acid composition of Agrimonia eupatoria was determined for the first time using an amino acid analyzer ААА Т-339 М (CZ) in accordance with DSTU (State Standard of Ukraine) ISO 13903:2005. As a result of the research, 17 amino acids and their respective amounts were identified in the herb of Agrimonia eupatoria. From a quantitative point of view the following amino acids prevail: aspartic acid, glycine (0.93% each), alanine, valine (0.69% each), and lysine (0.53%).
