With increased prevalence of antibioticresistant bacterial, finding new sources with antibacterial activity could be an effective help in diseases. The antibacterial activity and Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of the extracts of Calendula Officinalis L., Achillea millefolium L. Millefolium L., Allium haemanthoides Boiss. & Reut. ex Regel, Allium ampeloprasum L. and Echinophora platyloba...

AIM To investigate the antioxidant potential of two Allium cepa L. extracts. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antioxidant activity of the two extracts (encoded EC1 and EC2) was assessed using two methods: DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging capacity and determination of their reducing power; phytobiological, studies were performed using grains of Triticum aestivum L., Falmura variety.
