The article presents the results of a study on the content of biologically active substances, organic acids, and ascorbic acid in the fruits and leaves of Rhus typhina L. It has been shown that this plant species is highly adaptable to temperate climate conditions, has ornamental value, and provides stable yields, which makes it a promising candidate for cultivation and raw material harvesting. The study analyzed the quantitative content of total organic acids and ascorbic acid in different parts of the plant depending on extraction duration and extraction conditions. It was established that the content of the studied compounds is higher in the fruits compared to the leaves of Rhus typhina L. It was demonstrated that increasing the extraction time promotes a higher yield of organic acids in extracts obtained from fresh leaves but is not effective for the extraction of ascorbic acid due to its oxidative degradation upon exposure to air. In the case of fruit extracts, prolonged extraction does not significantly increase the content of biologically active compounds, as the majority of them are released within the first hour. The effectiveness of ultrasound irradiation as a physical method for intensifying the extraction of biologically active compounds from leaves was confirmed. This approach significantly increases the yield of both total organic acids and ascorbic acid in the extracts. In contrast, ultrasound irradiation showed no significant advantage over conventional extraction when applied to fruits. The obtained results confirm the relevance of further studies on Rhus typhina as a promising source of phytogenic raw material with pronounced bioactive potential. The low toxicity, high agronomic performance, and rich chemical composition of this plant make it attractive for pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.
