Аннотация:Common juniper (Juniperus commúnis L.), Cypress family (Cupressaceae), is a promising source of biologically active substances for the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases. Extracts of juniper needles and fruits are analyzed by high-resolution HPLC–MS and thermal desorption (TD) GC–MS. Six hydroxybenzoic acids and four hydroxycinnamic acids were identified on the chromatograms of the extracts recorded in the full scan mode. The content of salicylic, p-hydroxybenzoic, gallic, coumaric, and ferulic acids was estimated at 0.03–17 mg/L. In the TD-GC–MS mode, peaks of substances were recorded in the range of retention times 9–25 min (by retention indices from 900 to 1700). For a more reliable identification, experimental retention indices were calculated and compared with those presented in the literature. It was suggested that the presence of substances such as cosmene, pinocarveol, and 2-pinen-4-one in the chromatograms can serve markers of the presence of juniper berries in the dietary supplement of juniper needles.
