Investigation and record of the apricot trees' gums raw resources of flora of the Republic of Armenia.
Considering the fact that the recent resourceological researches referring to the local flora apricot trees' gums held in different regions of the RA were encountered in 1999-2000, there was a problem of serious approach necessity regarding gums in the RA (for a process of their resources record in the RA), as their need increase is anticipated not just in the medical industry, but also in the other industrial aspects. According to the got value, the possible annual provision volume all over the Republic made up 49.52-55.69 tons. Meanwhile raw productivity is approximately 53.6 ± 6.67 g/m(2). Thus, the gums' raw sources provided by the widely-cultivating in the RA apricot gum-trees can fully meet the needs of those industrial aspects, where use of the polysaccharides of natural origin is inevitable.
