Differences in the phenolic composition and nutraceutical properties of freeze dried and oven-dried wild and domesticated samples of Sanguisorba minor Scop

Recent studies have dealt about the phenolic compounds and nutraceutical properties of Sanguisorba minor Scop possibility their domestication to standardise plant production. However, it is also known that storage conditions can affect bioactive present in plants. Thus, wild (W) domesticated (F1, F2, F3) S. samples were exposed different drying methods (oven-drying at 60 °C until constant weight named OD or freeze-drying FD) studied for content compounds, antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic anti-inflammatory properties. In general, showed highest compounds. The most abundant both kaempferol-3- O -glucoside caffeoyl ester, with some differences between samples. Wild higher antimicrobial activity than ones, except F3 FD F2 reported cytotoxicity against HeLa cells. This study provides important information choose adequate methodology retain species. Further researches are necessary species verify efficiency method. • plants subjected oven-drying treatments. Oven-dried presented antioxidant potential. Oven-drying treatment was efficient preserving
