Abstract

The present study was designed to investigate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of pressurized liquid extracts from Haberlea rhodopensis Friv. The total phenolic content was performed using the Folin-Ciocalteu phenol reagent. To determine the antioxidant activities of the extracts, several complementary tests were used: ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities, oxygen radical absorbance capacity, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assay. The phenolic concentration was 15.98±0.09 and 9.42±0.06 mg GAE g<sup>−1</sup> DW for 70 and 85% ethanol extracts, respectively. Of all the performed methods, the highest antioxidant activity values were measured by the ORAC assay — 224.6±6.6 and 154.0±9.9 μM TE g<sup>−1</sup> DW for 70 and 85% ethanol extracts, respectively. Results also showed that both extracts exhibited very weak antimicrobial activity against the examined microorganisms. However, the 70% ethanol extract possessed higher inhibition ability, which correlated with higher total phenolic content and antioxidant activity.
