“…With the exception of compounds 2, 4 and 5, the remaining peaks have been previously identified in C. spinosum by the authors, in plants grown under different saline conditions (Petropoulos et al, 2017) and in different ecotypes of C. spinosum , as well as in leaves of C. intybus (Carazzone, Mascherpa, Gazzani, & Papetti, 2013;Dalar & Konczak, 2014;Heimler, Isolani, Vignolini, & Romani, 2009;Sinkovič et al, 2015).…”

a b s t r a c tIn the present study, the effect of successive harvesting on yield, chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Cichorium spinosum plants was examined. C. spinosum plants were grown from seeds sown in seed trays containing peat and young seedlings were transplanted in 2L pots containing peat and perlite (1:1 v/v). Plants were harvested two or three times during two consecutive growing periods. Total fresh weight and number of leaves were higher for successive harvests in both growing periods comparing to a single harvest. The application of more than two harvests resulted in quality loss during the 1st growing period, while in the 2nd growing period the overall chemical composition, antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds content was higher than the 1st period. In conclusion, cultivation practices such as sowing date and successive harvesting may be useful tools towards the production of high quality end-product with increased bioactive properties without compromising total yield.

“…5-O-Caffeoylquinic acid (compound 2), was positively identified according to its retention, mass spectra and UV-vis characteristics in comparison with a commercial standard. This phenolic acid, as well as compounds 1 and 3 (caftaric and chicoric acid, respectively) have been described by many authors in the leaves of C. intybus (Carazzone, Mascherpa, Gazzani, & Papetti, 2013;Dalar & Konczak, 2014;Heimler, Isolani, Vignolini, & Romani, 2009;Juśkiewicz et al, 2011;Rossetto et al, 2005;Sinkovic et al, 2015), without however any studies have been carried out about C. spinosum phenolic compounds composition. Chicoric acid is described as one of the main phenolic acids of C. intybus, as also demonstrated in the present study for the relative species of C. spinosum.…”

“…Phenolic compounds from plant material have recently gained great popularity because of their significant positive effects on human health (Auclair et al, 2008;Barba et al, 2014). Phenolic compounds along with plant pigments (carotenoids, chlorophylls) have proven significant antioxidant activity, which is directly corelated with removal of free radicals and superoxide (Hsu et al, 2013;Sinkovič et al, 2015). Therefore, it is important to emphasize the need to increase the consumption of foodstuffs rich in phenolic compounds aimed at preventive action on human health from cancer disease prevention to occurrence and prevention of cardiovascular diseases .…”

A b s t r a c t. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of conventional and ultrasound-assisted extraction (frequency, time, temperature) on the content of bioactive compounds as well as on the antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts from fresh lemon balm and peppermint leaves. Total phenols, flavonoids, non-flavonoids, total chlorophylls, total carotenoids, and radical scavenging capacity were determined. Moreover, the relationship between bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity was studied by linear regression. A significant increase in all studied bioactive compounds during ultrasonic extraction for 5 to 20 min was found. With the classical extraction method, the highest amounts of total phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity were determined, and the maximum amounts of total chlorophylls and carotenoids were determined during 20 min ultrasonic extraction. The correlation analysis revealed a strong, positive relationship between antioxidant activity and total phenolic compounds.
