This article presents an optimized technology for producing an alcohol tincture from the roots of the Citrullus colocynthis plant, which grows in the Aravan district of the Osh region. According to the study results, the cucurbitacin content in the obtained samples was 2.8 ± 0.3 mg/g, which is 23% higher than the regional average. It was found that the tincture prepared from wild watermelon roots contains a significant amount of biologically active substances. The relevance of studying this plant, which is widespread in the southern regions of Kyrgyzstan, is substantiated, and new data on its therapeutic potential are obtained. The root material was dried at 40°C and subjected to alcohol extraction. As a result, a method was developed that ensures high preservation of biologically active substances in the Citrullus colocynthis tincture.
