Özet
Mentha spicata( peppermint), Labiatae familyasına ait bir bitkidir. İştah azalması, soğuk algınlığı, bronşit, sinüzit, ateş, mide bulantısı, kusma ve hazımsızlıkta kullanılan bitkisel bir ajandır. Flavonoid içerikli bitkilerin özellikle antioksidan etkileri yıllardır araştırılıyor olmasına karşın, kuru nane tozu ile birlikte enzimatik ve nonenzimatik antioksidanlar ile vitaminler arasındaki etkileşimleri ele alan çalışmalar yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu tez, Mentha spicata’nın bazı biyokimyasal parametrelere etkilerini ve antioksidan aktivitesini araştırmak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
