The content of shikimic acid in the vegetative parts of a number of plants growing in the Altai Territory has been studied. The greatest content of shikimic acid (about 1.5%) was found in the coniferous needles of Scots pine. Shikimic acid accumulated in buckwheat cells cultivated in vitro on glyphosate-containing medium. The best results were obtained with buckwheat explants cultivated in vitro on Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium in the presence of 0.5 × 10−3 mg/L of glyphosate.

Allocation of albuminous fraction from soybeans, stalks and leaves, preparation on its basis of food and fodder products, use of enzymes containing in it and antifermental substances is actual. It is known, that ultrasonic influence intensifies extraction, but thus can change activity of enzymes and lead to destruction of components of albuminous fraction. At ultrasonic (US) processing of soybeans by capacity 20 W within I minute the maximal increase in the maintenance of the general fiber in the water extract, equal 560 mkg/ml was observed.
