FOOD AND BIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES IN FRESH BURDOCK STALKS

Abstract
The article deals with results of studying the chemical composition of the stalks of Burdock (burdock) - Arctium lappa L. = Lappa major Gaertn . It was established that burdock stalks contain 1.86 % of protein, 2.41 % of cellulose, 0.32 % of fat, 0.92 % of minerals. The share of glutamic and aspartic acids is the largest of the nonessential amino acids. The share of leucine and valine is the largest of the essential amino acids. Methionine is the limiting amino acid in the protein composition. Burdock petioles have a wide range of minerals. The content of potassium, sodium, magnesium and iron is 2-3 times higher than that in vegetables. The vitamin composition is presented by vitamin C, vitamins B, vitamin E and carotene
