Context: Flavoring celery (Apium graveolens L.) from the umbrella family (Apiaceae) is a common food plant, its use as a spice has been known since Ancient Greece. Stems, leaves and root are widely used in cooking in various dishes: soups, salads and side dishes. Celery fragrant has mild laxative, diuretic, antiseptic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, enveloping and wound healing properties. Aims: The aim of our research was the phytochemical study of celery root odorous, quantitative definition of flavonoid, carotenoid, polysaccharides, tannin, free organic acids, essential oils and lipid. Methods and Material: The research material was dried and chopped celery fragrant root passing through a 3 mm sieve. We carried out quantitative determination of biologically active substances in the celery root odorous by the following methods: flavonoids (In terms of rutin) by the spectrophotometric method; carotenoids by the photocolorimetric method; essential oil, polysaccharides, lipophilic substances by the gravimetric method; free organic acids and tannins by the titrimetric method. Statistical analysis used: The results of the studies are given in the table. Statistical data processing was performed according to the method “Statistical processing of the results of a chemical experiment and biological tests” presented in State Pharmacopoeia XI [1]. The sample size (n) is 6, the confidence level (P) is 95%, the student criterion (t (P, f) is 2.57). Results: For the first time, we carried out a quantitative assessment of the content of seven groups of biologically active compounds of celery root odorous, grown in the North Caucasus: essential oil - 2.04 ± 0.01%, flavonoids - 1.44 ± 0.01,% lipophilic substances - 4, 05 ± 0.01%, carotenoids - 3.03 ± 0.02%, free organic acids - 2.38 ± 0.02%, tannins - 8.06 ± 0.01%, water-soluble polysaccharides - 8, 33 ± 0.01%, pectin substances - 3.45 ± 0.01%, hemicellulose A - 1.54 ± 0.01%, hemicellulose B - 1.47 ± 0.01%. Conclusion: Celery root odorous grown in the North Caucasus is a source of biologically active compounds.
