The aim of the study is to examine in-vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the acetonic and methanolic extracts of the mushrooms Boletus aestivalis, Boletus edulis and Leccinum carpini. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using free radical scavenging activity and reducing power. In addition, total content of phenol and flavonoid in extracts were determined as pyrocatechol equivale...

this study was designed to examine the chemical composition and in-vitro antioxidant activity of the essential oil and methanolic extract of teucrium orientale subsp. taylori. the gc and gc–ms analysis of the essential oil resulted in determination of 40 components representing 96.4% of the oil. the major constituents of the oil were linalool (28.6%), caryophyllene oxide (15.6%), 1,8-cineol (4....

the methanolic extracts, infusions, decoctions and hydrosols of six plants were investigated for their total phenolic contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities: mentha piperita (peppermint), thymus vulgaris   (thyme), melissa officinalis (lemon balm), ocimum basilicum (basil), rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) and     salvia officinalis     (sage) (lamiaceae). total phenolic contents w...
