Abstract

The results of studies of various phenolic compounds, which are the constituents of Sphagnum magellanicum peat of different degrees of decomposition, showed that it is characterized by high concentrations of free phenol compounds, which include phenolcarboxylic acids, catechols, and flavonols. It was found that an increase in the degree of decomposition leads to a decrease in phenolcarboxylic acids in the composition of peat with a simultaneous considerable increase in the concentration of flavonols—an important group of biologically active phenol compounds.
