STUDY OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF EXTRACTS OBTAINED FROM AMARANTH LEAVES

The article is devoted to the study of the chemical composition of amaranth produced on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and comparison with indicators in other countries, for example, in the United States of America. The chemical composition of the amaranth plant has been studied. The growth was studied and the chemical composition of different varieties of amaranth (Amaranthus Cruentus and Amaranthus Tricolor) was compared. A study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of amaranth leaves, the mass fraction of proteins and vitamins in the aqueous extract was found. The amount of heavy metals in the leaves, stems and roots of 2 varieties of amaranth imported from the USA and grown on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan was studied.
