Investigating the Polyphenolic Profile and the Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activity of Tarragon (Artemisia Dracunculus L) Cultivated in Central Romania

The chemical composition, the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of Artemisia dracunculus L. leaves were examined through utilization four solvents for extraction. These included ultrapure water, ethanol, methanol acetic acid. values reached total polyphenols between 77.2 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g extracts 192.1 GAE/g methanolic extracts. flavonoids identified at 46.4 quercetin (QE)/g 126.4 QE/g IC50 capacity determined by 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method 14.66 μg/mL (acetic extracts) 20.33 (methanolic extracts). 23 phenolic compounds using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. aqueous have on very good activity Staphylococcus aureus 231 Enterococcus faecalis 428 strains. A. leaf are rich in a diverse range valuable active biological compounds.
