Mespilus germanica L. which has an edible fruit is a medicinal plant whose therapeutic effects have historically been emphasized. In this study, we determined antioxidant capacities of methanolic extracts obtained from M. germanica fruits and seeds by using DPPH assay and Folin-Ciocaltaeu method. It was revealed that the total phenolic contents of methanolic extracts of M. germanica seeds (22.94 mgGAE/g extract) were higher than M. germanica fruits (4.67 mgGAE/g extract). Also, the seed extract (9.33 mgTE/g extract) exhibited stronger free radical scavenging activity in DPPH assay as compared ...Daha fazlası
