ABSTRACT: This article deals with the biochemical
characteristics of varieties of Saint Mary’s Thistle such as Panacea, Debut and
Samaryanka. Based on the studies, it was found that the highest oil content was
found in the species Debut (26%). The lowest oil content was observed in the
variety Samaryanka (19%). The highest protein content and the
sum of total amino acids in the seeds of St. Mary’s Thistle varieties were
found in the variety Debut (131.1), and the lowest indication was observed in
the species Samaryanka (79.2). By the number of replaceable amino acids
existing in the seeds of the species of St. Mary’s Thistle, it was found in the
Varieties Debut (126.3), and the lowest indication was observed in the variety
Samaryanka (112). Based on the results of studies and the noted biochemical
characteristics and varietal differences of the St. Mary’s Thistle, the
possibility and expediency of expanding the crops of this species in the soil
and climatic conditions of the Khorezm region are suggested. The research was
conducted 2017-2019 y.
