Abstract
In this work, the total content of phenolics, flavonoids, and phenolic acids in the leaves and bark extracts of Fraxinus ornus L. and Fraxinus excelsior L. was determined. In addition, the identification and quantification of phenolic acids was performed using the HPLC-DAD technique. Samples were tested for antioxidant activity using the ABTS and DPPH methods. Eight extract samples were prepared by Soxhlet and ultrasound extraction using 70 % ethanol as solvent. The content of phenolic compounds ranged from 7.59 for F. ornus to 88.93 mg GAE/g for F. excelsior in the bark extracts obtained by Soxhlet extraction. The highest content of total flavonoids in F. ornus and F. excelsior was found in the leaves extracts obtained by ultrasound extraction, which was 5.68 and 1.74 mg GAE/g extract, respectively. The results also showed that the highest content of total phenolic acids was found in F. ornus (105.33 mg CAE/g) and F. excelsior (97.97 mg CAE/g) in the bark extract obtained by Soxhlet extraction. The highest content of gallic acid (112.96 ± 1.32 mg g –1 extracts) and chlorogenic acid (246.94 ± 0.82 mg g –1 extracts) was found in the F. ornus bark extract obtained by ultrasound extraction. As for antioxidant activity, the bark extract obtained by Soxhlet extraction of F. ornus showed the best antioxidant activity by ABTS method with IC 50 value of 0.062 mg ml –1. The results of the DPPH method show that the leaves extract obtained by Soxhlet extraction had the best antioxidant activity for the F. ornus sample, with an IC 50 value of 0.23 mg ml –1.U ovom radu određen je ukupni sadržaj fenola, flavonoida i fenolnih kiselina u ekstraktima lišća i kore Fraxinus ornus L. i Fraxinus excelsior L. Dodatno, identifikacija i kvantifikacija fenolnih kiselina provedena je pomoću tehnike HPLC-DAD. Uzorci su ispitani na antioksidativno djelovanje metodama ABTS i DPPH. Osam uzoraka ekstrakta, pripremljeno je Soxhlet i ultrazvučnom ekstrakcijom uporabom 70 % etanola kao otapala. Sadržaj fenolnih spojeva kretao se od 7,59 za F. ornus do 88,93 mg GAE/g za F. excelsior u ekstraktima kore dobivenim Soxhlet ekstrakcijom. Najveći sadržaj ukupnih flavonoida u uzorcima F. ornus i F. excelsior određen je u ekstraktima listova dobivenih ultrazvučnom ekstrakcijom i iznosio je 5,68 odnosno 1,74 mg GAE/g ekstrakta. Rezultati su također pokazali da je najveći sadržaj ukupnih fenolnih kiselina utvrđen u F. ornus (105,33 mg CAE/g) i F. excelsior (97,97 mg CAE/g) u ekstraktu kore dobivenom Soxhlet ekstrakcijom. Najveći sadržaj galne kiseline (112,96 ± 1,32 mg g –1 ekstrakata) i klorogenske kiseline (246,94 ± 0,82 mg g –1 ekstrakata) detektiran je u ekstraktu kore F. ornus dobivenom ultrazvučnom ekstrakcijom. Što se tiče antioksidativnog djelovanja, ekstrakt kore uzorka F. ornus dobiven Soxhlet ekstrakcijom pokazao je najbolje antioksidativno djelovanje metodom ABTS s IC 50 vrijednošću od 0,062 mg ml –1. Rezultati metode DPPH pokazali su da je ekstrakt lišća dobiven Soxhlet ekstrakcijom imao najbolje antioksidativno djelovanje za uzorak F. ornus s IC 50 vrijednošću od 0,23 mg ml –1.
