“…Overall, aglycones had a higher antioxidant activity as compared with anthocyanins, which could be due to the structure of flavonols. In fact, the ability to scavenge free radicals depends on many structural factors 21 . Flavonols are considered powerful compounds, particulary quercetin which contains all criteria previously described (antioxidant and anti-inflammatory).…”

Illicium verum (badiane or star anise), Crataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna (hawthorn) and Allium cepa (onion), have traditionnally been used as medicinal plants in Algeria. This study showed that the outer layer of onion is rich in flavonols with contents of 103 ± 7.90 µg/g DW (red variety) and 17.3 ± 0.69 µg/gDW (white variety). We also determined flavonols contents of 14.3 ± 0.21 µg/g 1.65 ± 0.61 µg/g for Crataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna leaves and berries and 2.37 ± 0.10 µg/g for Illicium verum. Quantitative analysis of anthocyanins showed highest content in Crataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna berries (5.11 ± 0.266 mg/g), while, inner and outer layers of white onion had the lowest contents with 0.045 ± 0.003mg/g and 0.077 ± 0.001 mg/g respectively. Flavonols extracts presented high antioxidant activity as compared with anthocyanins and standards antioxidants (ascorbic acid and quercetin). Allium cepa and Crataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna exhibited the most effective antimicrobial activity.

“…Herbal extracts are traditionally allowed to macerate in a solvent for up to one month prior to use (Bruton-Seal & Seal, 2008). Ethanolic extracts from hawthorn berries are reported to possess greater antioxidant activity than aqueous extracts (Bernatoniene et al, 2008). Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), where CO 2 is mainly used as an extracting solvent, offers a number of advantages over traditional solvent extraction techniques.…”

“…they have nervine, antispasmodic, bradycardiac, hypotensive and diuretic activities (7,11,22). Antioxidant activities of C. tanacetifolia and C. monogyna have been documented (5,9,46,56). Moreover, anticancer activities of some Crataegus spp.…”
