Edible Flowers Extracts as a Source of Bioactive Compounds with Antioxidant Properties—In Vitro Studies

Edible plants began to play an important role in past decade as a part of therapy, recovery process or healthy life style. The availability and relatively low price the raw material, well proven bioactive health benefits, are key consumers’ choice nutrients. red clover (Trifolium pratense) is popular plant with properties such antiseptic analgesic effects. less known white repens), fodder honey plant, has anti-rheumatic anti-diabetic properties. Both species may serve potential source substances antioxidant food additive supplement. study material consisted flower extracts Trifolium repens pratense. total content polyphenols DPPH (2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) ferric reducing power (FRAP) were measured using spectrophotometry methods. Oxidative stress THP1 cells was induced via sodium fluoride. Subsequently, added their influences on proliferation, activity enzymes evaluated. have high potential. We also demonstrated positive impact increasing cell cultures under oxidative by valuable sources antioxidants everyday diet.
