Associating Conceptions in Science Teaching with Daily Life: Water

Özet

In this presented work, antioxidant potential of endemic Lavandula stoechas cariensis was investigated.Lavandula stoechas cariensis plants were locally called as “Karabaş otu” and consumed for its beneficialeffects. Fifteen different locations for plant sampling were identified at around Koçarlı (Aydın) region,and plant samples and soil samples were collected in between April and May. Four main antioxidantparameters were used for the evaluation of the antioxidant parameters: proline content; total phenoliccompounds; DPPH free radical scavenger activity; and reducing power. Before the antioxidantexperiments, water and methanol extracts of the Lavandula stoechas cariensis plants were obtained.Essential oil content; and micro and macro nutrient of the Lavandula stoechas cariensis samples were alsoinvestigated. Soil properties and nutrient content of the soil samples were also evaluated.--
