POLYPHENOLS CONTENT AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF ARTEMISIA SIEVERSIANA WILLD. IN WESTERN PAMIR

Am Sci J. 2017;16(1):55-59.

Abstract

Polyphenols content and antioxidant activity in Artemisia sieversiana Willd. were investigated in relation to the altitude of the plant growth in the Western Pamir region. Antioxidant activity generally correlated with the polyphenols content. However, no significant association was found between an altitude of the sample collection and polyphenols content or antioxidant activity.

Keywords: Artemisia sieversiana; antioxidant activity; medicinal plant; polyphenols.
