Abstract

Objective: Antioxidant activities of the plants were significantly affected by their drying methods. In the current study, total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) dried by two different methods, air-dried (AD) and freeze-dried (FD) were measured. The aim was to determine if there were any changes in the antioxidant activity according to the drying method.

Özet

Amaç: Bitkilerin antioksidan aktiviteleri kurutma yöntemlerinden önemli ölçüde etkilenir. Bu çalışmada, hava ile kurutulmuş (HK) ve dondurularak kurutulmuş (DK) nanenin (Mentha piperita L.) sulu ekstrelerinde toplam fenolik içeriği ve antioksidan aktivitesi ölçülmüştür. Amaç, kurutma yöntemine göre antioksidan aktivitesinde değişiklik olup olmadığını belirlemektir.
