The investigation of perspective spices (aromatic) plants introduction carried out in the Botanical Garden at Vytautas Magnus University. Analysis of secondary metabolites and antioxidant activity of MAPs are carried out using integrated sample preparation, spectrophotometric, chromatographic and microanalysis techniques [3,8].
