Kültürü Yapılan Bazı Mentha Türlerinin HPLC ile Fenolik Asitlerin Tayini ve Antioksidan Kapasitesi Belirlenmesi

This study was designed to investigate the phenolic acid contents and antioxidant activities of 14 clones mint species (M. spicata, M. piperita, villoso nervata dumetorum) that cultivated in Turkey. The were analysed using HPLC. these Mentha evaluated by free radical scavenging activity (DDPH•), cation (ABTS•+) reducing power tests. Additionally, total content determined spectrophoto metrically Folin-Ciacelteau’s reagent. Phenolic two subclasses: benzoic cinnamic derivatives. rosmarinic (which is derivative) main for all tested plant material changing from 5482.6 31982.7 mg/kg dry weight concentrations. p-hydroxy (ranging 30.5 236.4 weight) syringic 95.4 375.2 most abundant acids derivatives found clones. According DDPH● ABTS●+ test results, while clone (originated Osmaniye) has higher activity, spicata Manisa) lower among other Reducing highest Konya) lowest. It been observed correlation between varied depending on used methods. These results show best human health terms both are 3rd spicata) 10th nervata) genotypes.
