The determination of total antioxidant activity, phenolic substance and reducing power amounts of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) leaves grown in Giresun

Abstract

In the present study, total antioxidant activity (TAC), phenolic compound amounts (TPC) and reducing power (RP) of hazelnut leaves collected from Giresun were investigated. Antioxidant levels were determined in the water extracts of hazelnut leaves by using methods according to the appropriate literature. In the results obtained from water extracts at three different doses (1, 2.5 and 5 mg/kg), it was determined that the total antioxidant capacity was high depending on the dose and phenolic content. The high antioxidant capacity of hazelnuts produced in humid regions in our country also depends on the phenolic substance content it has.
