This work was carried out for the quantitative estimation of phenolic compounds (soluble phenolic compounds, flavonoids such as quercetin, cynaroside, and avicularin) and ascorbic acid level in the aerial plant parts (leaves and stems) of two sage species viz., Salvia tesquicola (dry-steppe sage) and Salvia verticillata (lilac sage) grown in Tatarstan and Crimea, Kazan, Russia respectively. The highest content of phenolic compounds and the ascorbic acid level was reported in the leaves, while th
