It was aimed to determine anioxidant activity, and amount of total phenolic and flavonoid compounds
of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of P. ferulaceae (L.) Lindl. fruits from Turkey. The fruits were collected at
two different times, in May and July 2014. The total phenolic content of the extracts determined according to the
Folin-Ciocalteu Reactifi (FCR) method was calculated as mg Gallic acid equivalent (GAE) g-1 extract. The total
flavonoid content of the extracts was expressed as mg Quercetin (QE) g-1 extract. The percentage of antioxidant
activity of each samples was assessed by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) free radical assay. Total
phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extracts were determined to range from 11.750 to 79.111 mg GAE g-1 extract
and from 2.266 to 9.089 mg QE g-1 extract, respectively. According to the results of DPPH test, all fruit extracts
exhibited a slightly antioxidant activity.
