Abstract
Antioxidative activity and total phenolics content in methanol extracts from 10 selected plants currently available in our region were observed in this experiment. Obtained results present antioxidative activity of majority from selected plants. The most significant antioxidative effect was determined in extracts of Origanum vulgare L., Melissa officinalis L., and Agrimonia eupatoria L. These three extracts have the highest content of polyphenols and plants can be used also in practice. The lowest activity and lowest content of total phenols was recorded in extract of Crataegus oxyacantha L., it neither means its using in industry as an antioxidant is nor recommended.
