In
this presented work, antioxidant potential of endemic Lavandula stoechas cariensis was investigated. Lavandula stoechas cariensis plants were locally called as “Karabaş
otu” and consumed for its beneficial effects. Fifteen different locations for
plant sampling were identified at around Koçarlı (Aydın) region, and plant
samples and soil samples were collected in between April and May. Four main
antioxidant parameters were used for the evaluation of the antioxidant
parameters: proline content; total phenolic compounds; DPPH free radical
scavenger activity; and reducing power. Before the antioxidant experiments,
water and methanol extracts of the Lavandula
stoechas cariensis plants were obtained. Essential oil content; and micro
and macro nutrient of the Lavandula
stoechas cariensis samples were also investigated. Soil properties and
nutrient content of the soil samples were also evaluated.
