“…The good correlations between TPC and DPPH  radical scavenging activity (r 2 =0.6727), ABTS + radical scavenging activity (r 2 =0.8851), ORAC method (r 2 =0.9234) and FRAP assay (r 2 =0.7681) values confirmed that mainly the phenols were responsible for the antioxidant activity of the extracts. These results agreed with previous studies of edible and wild flowers from China like Rosa rugosa, Limonium sinuatum or Pelargonium hortorum (Li et al, 2014).…”

A study to establish relationship between the petal colour, extraction solvent, phenolic, flavonoid, anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity in three varieties of Viola × wittrockiana (yellow, red and violet) is reported in this article. Identification and quantification of flavonoids and anthocyanins using HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS is also presented. The antioxidant activity was studied by four different analytical assays: the measurement of scavenging capacity against ABTS + and DPPH free radicals, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The violet petals were the most active in all solvents employed for extraction and also showed higher total phenolic, flavonoid and anthocyanin content in comparison with red and yellow ones. Fourteen constituents were identified by HPLC coupled with diode-array detection (DAD) and mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), ten of them were flavonoids and four anthocyanins. The major compounds found in violet pansy were rutin, violanthin and violanin. Aqueous extract of violet pansy can be regarded as a suitable candidate to serve as a radical scavenging agent that could be used in functional foods.

“…The antioxidant activity is frequently modulated by the phenolic profile of a determined matrix (Cheung et al, 2003;Li et al, 2014). The present results are generally in agreement with this principle, since the floral buds and the senescent flowers, which showed the highest contents in phenolic acids and flavonoids contents, exhibited the most powerful antioxidant activity.…”

Coleostephus myconis (L.) Rchb.f. (Asteraceae) is a species with ruderal growth and persistence in abandoned soils, being characterized for its plentiful yellow flowering between March and August. Despite its botanical relevance, C. myconis had never been studied neither for its antioxidant activity, nor individual phenolic compounds. Herein, the antioxidant activity of different botanical parts: stems and leaves (green parts), floral buds, flowers in anthesis and senescent flowers, was studied in selected extracts

a b s t r a c t Q 3Phytochemical composition and health attributes of indigenous vegetables from the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, Malva neglecta Wallr., Plantago lanceolata L., Cichorium intybus L. and Eryngium bornmuelleri Nab. were evaluated. Hydrophilic extracts obtained from roots, stems, leaves, and flowers exhibited pronounced antioxidant capacities and effectively suppressed the activities of isolated aglucosidase and pancreatic lipase enzymes. These activities correlated well with total phenolics contents.P. lanceolata was an effective inhibitor of a-glucosidase and C. intybus of pancreatic lipase. Highperformance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analyses revealed the dominance of luteolin glycosides in P. lanceolata and chicoric and chlorogenic acids in C. intybus extracts. M. neglecta and E. bornmuelleri contained the lowest levels of phenolic compounds and exhibited the lowest antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities. The results showed that the evaluated indigenous vegetables provide a source of valuable phenolic-based phytochemicals that diversify local diet and may contribute toward maintaining good health.
