The Leguminosae family has about 550 genera and 13 000 species distributed around the globe, being one of the largest families of the worldʼs flora. The flora of Kazakhstan has 42 genera and 650 species [ 1 ]. Plants from the genus Alhagi possessed various biological activities [ 2 ]. We have isolated a complex of biologically active compounds from the seeds of Alhagi pseudalhagi by the method of ultrasound extraction [UE]. The chemical composition of the extract is studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. UE was voiced using a Bandelin HD 2200 instrument, under the conditions: power 30 W, solvent – hexane, sound time 10 minutes, temperature 41 oC and the ratio of raw materials : extractant 1 : 10. Hexadecanoic (12.10%), linoleic (12.05%), oleic (10.18%) acids and β-sitosterol (9.02%) were found to be the main components of the extract. The yield of extractive compounds (EC) of A. pseudalhagi obtained by UE was compared with traditional maceration extraction. The output of EC using ultrasound is 0.86%, then as for maceration this index is 0.74%. These findings further illustrate that extraction of bioactive phytochemicals from plant materials using UE method consumes less extraction solvent and saves time.
