Description
Summary:To determine the phytochemical screening and quantification of total phenolics contents in fresh Eryngium creticum (E. creticum) leaves and stems extract and to evaluate its total antioxidant activity. Quantification of total phenolics contents in fresh E. creticum leaves and stems extract and evaluation of its total antioxidant activity, were done using the spectrophotometric analyses. The consumption of 100 g of fresh E. creticum leaves and stems could provide antioxidants equivalent to (78.50±0.80) mg of vitamin C and (50.42±0.50) mg of vitamin C, respectively. From this study, it can be concluded that E. creticum can be interesting to prevent diseases directly linked to oxidative stress.
