VL - 7 IS - 2 SE - Original Article DO - 10.5530/fra.2017.2.24 UR - https://antiox.org/index.php/fra/article/view/131 SP - 160-165 AB - <p><strong>Context:</strong> Phytochemicals are non-nutritive plant chemicals that have protective or disease preventive properties. Because they have antioxidant property and protect our cells against oxidative damage. <strong>Aim:</strong> This work aimed to determination of phytochemical composition which total phenol content(TPC), total flavonoid content(TFC), total flavones content, alkaloid, acidity, pH, total carotenoid content, amount of carotene, β-carotene concentration, anthocyanin, amount of saponin and tannin, ascorbic acid levels, mineral profile and antioxidant activity of fresh<em> Celtis tournefortii</em> due to the importance of secondary metabolites. <strong>Material and method:</strong> <em>Celtis tournefortii</em> was used for this study Phytochemical compositions were determined by spectrometric methods excluding phenolic acid and mineral profile. Antioxidant activity were determined by different antioxidant method. <strong>Consequently:</strong> <em>Celtis tournefortii</em> may be an antioxidant source.</p> ER -
