Abstract: In this research work, the content of vitamin C and iodine in the fruits of the Zyzyphus jujuba Mill new selection variety “Candy” was studied. It was found that this fruit is rich in bioactive substances that exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial and other activities. This fruit is a source of carotenoids, flavonoids and other bioactive compounds that are promising for use in the food and medical industries. The fruit is also rich in macro- and microelements, such as vitamin C and iodine. Based on the analysis of existing methods for determining biologically active substances, easy-to-use methods were selected: titrimetric, optical and chromatographic. The results of studies on determining the content of vitamin C and iodine in the fruits of Zyzyphus jujuba Mill selection variety “Candy” can be used in the development of prescription compositions of sweet canned products for functional nutrition.
