Abstract

Background: The petals of Rosa species are used in the food industry and various traditional medicinal products, but few studies exist on the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of petals of Rosa L. species grown in Iran. Objective: Phytochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity and some phenolic compounds of petals of six Rosa L. species were studied. Methods: Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, aluminum chloride method, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays, respectively. An HPLC system was used for quantitative analysis of phytochemical compounds. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed among the variables analyzed using Minitab software. Also, heat maps were used to visualize phytochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity in each species using GraphPad Prism software. Results: The amount of total phenol content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were in the range of 25.13-52.01 mg gallic acid equivalents/g dry weight (DW), 0.61-0.82 mg quercetin equivalents/g DW, 11.47-20.93 µmol Fe++/g DW (FRA...Continue Reading
