abstract

three native turkish medicinal and aromatic plants (artemisia absinthum, artemisia santonicum and saponaria officinalis) were investigated to analyze their antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and antimicrobial activity. their total antioxidant activity was determined by using a β-carotene bleaching assay and their antimicrobial activity was determined by utilizing an agar disc diffusion assay. methanol extracts of the three species analyzed showed high antioxidant activity and among them artemisia absinthum possessed the highest quantity (71.78%). the total phenolic content (folin-ciocalteu assay) was shown to be between 6.57 µggae/mg dry weight basis (saponaria officinalis) and 8.86 µggae/mg dry weight basis (artemisia absinthum). there was a positive correlation (r = 0.819) between the total phenolic content and the antioxidant activity measured in the plant samples. the aqueous and methanol extracts of the aerial parts of the species showed antibacterial activities against a number of microorganisms. the methanol extracts were found to inhibit the growth of microorganisms more than the aqueous extracts. these findings suggest that the methanol extracts of the plants tested contain compounds with antimicrobial properties. these exhibited properties propose that such plant extracts can possibly be used as natural preservatives in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities of different extracts and fractions from the aerial parts of Artemisia biennis Willd

Total phenolic contents (TPC) of five different extracts (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and ethanol-water) of Artemisia biennis Willd were measured in this work. The antioxidant activity was investigated by three different methods: β-carotene bleaching (BCB) test, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method and ferrous ion chelating (FIC) assay. Amo...
