Abstract

Antioxidant activity as well as phenolics, carotenoids and chlorophyll contents were estimated in flowers and leaves of arnica chamissa, royal marigold and purple coneflower. Higher antioxidant activity was observed in flowers of arnica chamissa and royal marigold and in leaves of purple coneflower. After drying of raw material in natural conditions, the content of phenolics and antioxidant activity was higher than in fresh material.
