Özet:

In this study, we determined the Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn contents of Vitis sylvestris Gmelin using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), and examined the antioxidant properties of Vitis sylvestris Gmelin using radical scavenging capacities and total phenolic content tests. We found the average elemental contents; Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn as 1.506 ± 0.042 mg/kg, 0.796 ± 0.020 mg/kg, 2.333 ± 0.033 mg/kg, and 3.191 ± 0.262 mg/kg, respectively. When we examined the antioxidant activity tests applied to different extracts, we determined the highest extraction yield with the methanol extract. DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and total phenolic content values in methanol extract were determined to be respectively 3.957 ± 0.146 mg TEAC/g fw, 9.062 ± 0.273 mg TEAC/g fw, and 2.365 ± 0.028 mg GAE/g fw. When we evaluated the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content results for all extracts statistically, we determined that there was generally a statistically significant difference between each extract (p < 0.01). Vitis sylvestris Gmelin has high antioxidant content when considering the data obtained. Also, we determined that it is an effective candidate in the protection against reactive oxygen species.
