Abstract
In this work, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of roots, leaves and inflorescences of Artemisia fragrans Willd. and Artemisia vulgaris L. have been investigated. The results indicate that the TPC, TFC and FRAP in leaves and inflorescences are higher than in roots and there is significant positive correlation (P < 0.05, r2 = 0.761) between TPC and FRAP. According to our results it seems that inflorescences and leaves of Artemisia plants possess significant antioxidant activity and there is significant difference (P < 0.05) between the two species.
