Investigation of the Antioxidant Behavior of Air- and Freeze-Dried Aromatic Plant Materials in Relation to Their Phenolic Content and Vegetative Cycle

The total phenolic and flavonoid content of the aerial parts of five aromatic plants harvested at different periods was estimated, and their antioxidant capacity was evaluated. Major phenolic compounds present in their extracts were determined by RP-HPLC. The results demonstrated different amounts o...
