quantitative determination of the flavonoids, polyphenols and polyphenolcarboxilicacids.The results of the free radical-scavenger activity was determined by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay revealed that the samples exhibit highantioxidant activity, being in accordance with the values provided bychemiluminescence in vitro tests, and suggesting thus their potential application forprophylaxy and therapy of various free radical related diseases.Experimental dataemphasized the structural complexity and antioxidative capacity of the flavonoidicvegetal pigments.A correlation between antioxidant activity and flavonoidic content wasobserved for all the flavonoidic vegetal pigments. The results obtainedrecommending the flavonoidic vegetal pigments from Agrimonia eupatoria L. andHypericum perforatum L. species for applications in pharmaceutical industry,cosmetic industry and food additives.REFERENCES1.
