For the first time, the amino acid and elemental composition of the aerial part of Rosmarinus officinalis L. (medicinal rosemary),
belonging to the Lamiaceae family and cultivated under introduction conditions at the Tashkent Botanical Garden named after
Academician F.N. Rusanov, was investigated. According to the obtained research results, 18 amino acids were identified in the
aerial part of the plant, of which 8 belong to essential amino acids, accounting for 69.80% of the total amino acid content. The
major amino acids were found to be tryptophan (26.01%), leucine (3.93%), isoleucine (12.49%), histidine (7.29%), aspartic acid
(6.43%), and proline (5.13%).
Additionally, the mineral element composition of the aerial part of the plant was analyzed, and the results revealed the presence of
a total of 24 micro- and macroelements.
The obtained data allow the aerial part of Rosmarinus officinalis L. to be considered as a promising source of mineral elements and
amino acids possessing a wide spectrum of pharmacological activity.
