ABSTRACT

 

The phenolic content and antiocxidant activity of Vaccinium myrtillus collected from highlands of Rize (Handüzı, Kavron and Anzer) were determined. The Folşin-Coilteau method was used for the determimation of phenolic contents. The antioxidant activity values were obtained using the FRAP method. The phenolic content of fruits was calculated as 184,2-556,1 mg GAE.100 g-1 and that of dry leaves as 69,9-224,3 mg GAE.100 g-1. Further antioxidant activity ranged between 487,5-1240,2 mg FSO4/gr in dried fruits and between 170,2-250,3 mg FeSO4/gr in dry leaves. The phenolic content and antioxidant activity of fruits and leaves of Vaccinium myrtillus collected from the Rize flora showed values displaying rich contents.

 

Key words:  Vaccinium, phenolics, antioxidant
