The Chemical Composition of Preparations of Humic Acids of Peat Altai Mountain Region

A characteristic feature of peat as a raw source is the dependence of its composition and properties on the natural settings. The research on a group composition of organic matter including the representative kinds of peat of various physical and geographical provinces of Gorny Altai has been carried out. A decrease in quantity indicators of humic acids, hardly hydrolyzed substances and an increase in the composition of the non-hydrolyzed residue in high-mountainous peats were identified. The group composition of organic substance of peat of the Altai mountains formed in different climatic conditions was investigated. Knowledge of the composition and structural characteristics of the humic acids drugs of peat is relevant, as it allows you to manage their properties in the technological processes and targeted use of regional peat base. Humic products derived from the processing of peat, can be natural ingredients for veterinary medicines, functional food and dietary supplements. Humic acids which are natural macromolecular systems of irregular structure, are carriers of biological activity of drugs derived from peat. According to studies of humic drugs produced from peat of the North-Eastern Altai province (Altai Republic, Russia), showed a pronounced biological activity. The work for the first time presents the results of a study of the composition of medicinal products of humic acids (ha) mining of peat. The composition of organic matter sedge and wood-sedge peat of different physicogeographical provinces of Altai mountain region was studied. A reduction in the yield of humic acids (ha and FA) and the increase in the number of non-hydrolyzed residue in the composition of organic matter of lowland and highland peat. The elemental composition of the drugs of GK sedge and wood-sedge peat is characterized by the ratios H/C greater than 1 that characterizes the presence of these representatives are well developed aliphatic structures. Investigational drugs, GK are in General similar to the NMR spectra of 13C nuclei of GK. Characteristic features are the presence of well-developed aliphatic part and an aromatic macromolecule fragments in the composition of GK. The carboxyl groups and ether alcohol ("carbohydrate") fragments present in much smaller quantity. A reduction in the yield of humic acids and an increase in the number of non-hydrolyzed residue balance in the composition of organic matter of lowland and highland peat were identified. The element data analysis, IR-spectroscopy findings and NMR-spectroscopy of kernels 13С of humic acids have allowed to reveal a similar basis and specific features of the structural organization of the humic acids drugs extracted from the peat of various physical and geographical provinces of the Altai mountain area.
