In plant and food research the functional significance of herbs, spices and other plants, including their components is very popular topic. Plant material contains many components that are beneficial to human health by reducing the risk of chronic degenerative diseases. It is necessary to define the individual substances to understand and explain their biological effects. The first part of thesis describes the selected plants (elderberry, nettle, marigold, milk thistle, sea buckthorn, sage, purple coneflower and thyme) and also describes their medicinal properties and uses. The second part of thesis deals with phenolic and flavonoid substances. In the third (experimental) part, of thesis there were qualitatively and quantitatively determined flavonoid compounds in selected plant species. For identification the technique combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry - HPLC/MS was used. Extraction was carried out by vortexing and Soxhlet method, using two different concentrations of metanol. These metods were then statistically compared.
