The highest antioxidant activity was observed as 83.69 +/- 0.54% by DPPH radical scavenging assay. Hovewer, several phenolics and fatty acids of the extract were analysed. Data showed that the extract had high amount of caffeic acid with 0.466 +/- 0.021 mg/g and eriodictyol with 0.414 +/- 0.041 mg/g as phenolics and linoleic acid with 42.92% as fatty acid. Results suggested that Vitex agnus castus may be important in nutraceuticals, bio-pharmaceuticals and food additives.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessVitex agnus castusPhenolicsAntioxidant activityFRAPLinoleic acidEriodictyolArticle737074Q4WOS:000311754600012Q4
