Abstract

The issue of safety and quality examination of natural food additives and medicinal products is considered on the example of extracts from leaves of ginkgo biloba - nootropics, the most popular in the world both in terms of consumption and scientific interest. The requirements to the composition of preparations and methods of their control are characterized. A new original methodology for the determination of the content in commercial preparations of individual terpene lactones, flavonoglycosides of various groups and their aglycones by 1H NMR is proposed. A number of adulterated and/or lowquality preparations have been identified. The ways of expertise improving are proposed, including the definition of the minor components content.
