Peculiarities of the composition of acids in Sphagnum species of the percolation bog of the Kolkheti lowland

This paper focuses on the chemical composition of the Sphagnum species such as Sph. palustre, Sph. Papillosum, Sph. rubelum, Sph. imbricatum, Sph. cuspidatum belonging to the unique, virgin, relict, percolation bog “Ispani 2”. The determination of the content of biologically active substances in species was carried out using gas chromatography (GC-MS/MS). As it turned out, the Sphagnum contains biologically active substances such as the hexadecanoic acid - palmitic acid, fatty acid - oleic acid - Cis-9-Octadecenoil acid, and the carbohydrates such as Alpha-D-Glucopyranoside, ribofuranose and phenolic compounds - phenolic acid - Methyl 4-O-benzyl-á-D-xylopyranoside; phthalic acid or 1,2- Benzenedicarboxylic acid.
