Key words: Scots pine, supercritical fluid extraction, essential oil, terpenes, antibacterial activity
The paper presents a comparative analysis of influence of extraction methods that meet the princi ples of «green chemistry» on the extraction degree of components from the wood greenery of Pinus sylvestris. Analysis of the obtained alcohol extract, essential oil and supercritical extracts by GC-MS method showed that differences are observed in both the quantitative and qualitative composition of the studied objects. The highest selectivity of the diterpene fraction extraction and the expansion of the spectrum of individual components extracted from wood greenery by supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide compared to traditional extraction methods while maintaining a high antimicrobial activity of the resulting extract to suppress Escherichia coli strains is shown.
