Abstract
The name
Tanacetum vulgare
L., also known as Common Tansy, is derived from the Greek
word “athanasia”, which means “immortality”, most likely as a result of the fact that the flowers
of this plant do not wilt when dried. This perennial herbaceous plant is widely distributed in
North America, Europe, Asia, China, Japan, North Korea, and Russia.
Tanacetum vulgare
L. has
been found growing wild in many states of the United States, Europe, and Asia along roadsides,
in wastelands, and as a hedge. The chemical composition of the plant and its essential oils is
affected by its growing environment and climate. It is well described in the literature for many
plants. The plants with sectile leaves grow in Corsica (France), Sardinia, and Sicily (Italy), and
some consider them to be a separate species (ssp.
siculum
).
T. vulgare
is a 50–100 cm tall
perennial herbaceous plant. The stem is straight, branched from the middle, furrowed,
glabrous, or slightly pubescent. The leaves are alternate, dark green on top, grayish on the
bottom, and pubescent. The lower leaves are short-petiolate, the rest are sessile. All the leaves
are pinnately lobed, divided into lanceolate lobes with saw-toothed edges. Anthodia are
numerous, 5–8 mm in diameter, and arranged in corymbose inflorescences at the top of the
stem. All the flowers are yellow and funnel shaped. The marginal flowers are pistillate,
uniseriate; the middle flowers are teleianthous. The fruits are oblong gray achenes 1.5–3 mm
long, with five ribs. The plant blooms from mid-June to September and the fruits ripen in
August–September. A strong scent comes from the main oil-containing glands in the leaves and
flowers.
T. vulgare
is diploid (2n = 18) according to cytogenetic studies. The average amount of
essential oil found in aerial parts of
T. vulgare
plants collected at the full flowering stage is from
0.1 to 0.5%, though up to 1.9% has occasionally been observed.
T. vulgare
essential oil is a
warm, slightly spicy, dry, and grassy-smelling liquid with a from yellowish to orange hue. The
taste is very pungent and bitter. This plant cannot be used in flavorings or any food products.
The essential oil of
T. vulgare
mainly contains high amounts of thujone, a poison that can cause
convulsions, vomiting, and uterine bleeding. In addition to the essential oil,
T. vulgare
contains
amarines and sesquiterpene lactones.

The aim of the study:
The purpose of this work is the analysis of the elemental
composition of dry extract of the
Tanacetum vulgare
L
Method of quantitative determination of micro- and macroelements by induction mass
spectrometry with conjugate plasma. Apparatus and instruments used: A similar mass
spectrometer. Microwave decomposition device (Germany).
Results:
In Uzbekistan, the development of products of functional and therapeutic and
prophylactic purposes is underway to prevent various diseases and enhance the protective
functions of the div, reduce the risk of exposure to harmful substances, including for the
5
population living in ecologically unfavorable zones. The analysis results are presented in the
table below (table 1).

It was found that the extract of milk thistle fruit contains little toxic elements of lead,
cadmium, beryllium, mercury and thallium, and their content complies with the sanitary norms
and standards No. 0283.
Conclusions:
Dry extract of
Tanacetum vulgare
L contains an optimal amount of
flavonoids, amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins, as well as trace elements
Beryllium, Lithium, potassium, calcium, titanium. Based on the results obtained, the expediency
of including dry extract of
Tanacetum vulgare
L in medicinal products and biologically active
food additives was determined.
