| dc.description.abstract | Recently, edible fl owers ( EF ) have aroused increased interest because of their aesthetic properties as well as potential health bene fi ts related to the occurrence of some bioactive compounds. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the total phenolics, anthocyanins, fl avonoids, and antioxidant activity ( AOA ) ( following DPPH and ABTS methods ) in eleven EF. The samples were subjected to three successive extraction steps using methanol, and these extracts were then analysed for the aforementioned properties using spectrophotometric methods. The obtained extracts were used for the quantification of phenolic composition and AOA. The results indicated that, among the fl owers analysed in this study, red rose, pink rose, and red carnation possessed the highest total phenolic contents ( 27.53, 23.30, and 18.17 mg g − 1 gallic acid equivalents, respectively ) , total anthocyanins ( 3.07, 1.97, and 4.47 mg g − 1 catechin equivalents [ CE ] , respectively ) , and AOA ( 12.07, 15.77, and 12.93 mg g − 1 TE, respectively, as given by the DPPH method or 8.23, 9.27 and 8.00 mg g − 1 TE, respectively, as given by the ABTS method ) . The flowers with highest fl avonoids contents were red carnation, Mexican marigold, and pink rose ( 17.50, 16.90, and 16.57 mg g − 1 CE, respectively ) . Cluster analysis grouped the analysed flowers into two groups, those richest in phenolics with AOA and those not so rich. Finally, some important correlations were observed between the total phenolics and the AOA. In conclusion, these fl owers could represent a potential source of natural compounds with antioxidant capacity. | pt_PT |
