Abstract
Artemisia alba Turra was collected at the blooming stage on two different locations in Serbia, Mojinci and Rosomač. Antioxidant activity and HPLC profiles of their methanolic extracts were determined and compared. Flavonoid compounds found in both samples were rutin, apigenin glucoside, quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol and apigenin, while detected phenolic acids were chlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid, cynarine and rosmarinic acid. The only observed qualitative difference was related to the presence of vanillic acid. Extract of A. alba from Rosomač was richer in phenolic compounds and flavonoids than A. alba from Mojinci. The extract of A. alba from Rosomač also possessed higher antioxidant capacity than A. alba from Mojinci, which was especially noticed in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay. Only the results for the ferric ion reducing antioxidant power assay were higher for extract of A. alba from Mojinci, than for the extract of A. alba from Rosomač.
