Dry raw material of both peppermint and sweet basil grown with the application of different hydroponic methods (cylindrical, gully, continuous, classical) exceeds soil culture 1.2-2.7 and 1.8-2.7 times. At the same time a high output (1.6-3.1 times) of secondary origin bioactive substances was observed in cylindrical and classical hydroponics systems due to the high productivity of peppermint and in the case of basil in cylindrical hydroponics system (1.2-2.9 times). For determining antioxidant
