Antioxidant properties and phenolic components of extracts obtained from different parts of the Iris kerneriana (Çali süseni) plant

Abstract

The antioxidant properties of different parts of the Iris kerneriana Asch. & Sint. ex Baker plant in different solvents will be revealed and their phenolic content will be determined. The information obtained about the plant as a result of the study will be pioneering for use in different sectors (food, cosmetics, medicine, etc.). Revealing the content of the plant; both the elucidation of the content of the plant and the detection of the presence of phenolic substances known to have positive effects on human health are preliminary studies for the use of the plant as a medicinal aromatic plant. In the research, phenolic compounds of extracts obtained from different parts of I. kerneriana plant in different solvents were determined and their antioxidant properties were analyzed. Three different parts of the I. kerneira plant were extracted with three different solvents. The plant was evaluated according to four different analysis methods according to parts and solvents. The highest detected compounds by LC-MS/MS were found to be phenolic compounds such as catechin (187.87 mg/kg), chlorogenic acid (116.07 mg/kg), caffeic acid (21.36 mg/kg) and vanillin (8.77 mg/kg). According to the results obtained from this study, the determination of the antioxidant capacity and phenolic substance content of the plant revealed that this plant may have significant potential in terms of pharmacology and in the food industry.
