Abstract in English
Ten medicinal plants were chosen from various plants in Syria which
used as spices or cooked and Syria traditional medicine. Their names
Rosemary, Damask rose, Chamomile, Sumac, Silver linden, Black
cumin, Thyme, Mint, Laurel and lemon balm.
Moisture, yield of extraction, total phenolic content (TPC) and
antioxidant activities of methanol, ethanol, acetone and aqueous extracts
of medicinal plants were investigated.
The TPC were measured by Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the antioxidant
activity was assessed by the scavenging activity towards 2, 2′-diphenyl-
1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH)-radical.
