The methanolic fruit extracts of the Cornus and Morus species (H2O2 and DPPH scavenging activities, Fe2+ chelating activity) and the methanolic leaf extracts of the Mentha species (DPPH scavenging activities) examined in the assay showed the strongest activities. These antioxidant properties depended on the concentration of samples.en10.3989/gya.086208info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAntioxidant activityChelating activitiesExtractsMedicinal and aromatic plantsRadical scavengingArticle602147154Q3WOS:000266714400006Q3
