Edible parts of Alliums are rich sources of health-supporting bioactive compounds such as
polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants. Allium vineale and A. schoenoprasum are edible wild Allium
species collected from nature and used in the production of herby cheese. The aim of this study was to
determine the total phenol and total antioxidant contents in the above-ground organs of A. vineale and A.
schoenoprasum species collected from different locations within the borders of Van province of Turkey. In
the study, A. vineale plants were collected from 3 different locations (AV1, AV2, and AV3) and A.
schoenoprasum plants were collected from 3 different locations (AS1, AS2, and AS3). Folin-Ciocalteo
method was used to determine total phenol content and FRAP method was used to determine total
antioxidant activities. The average total phenolic content of all locations was determined as 46.71 g GAE
kg 1. The highest total phenol content (71.16 g GAE kg 1) was determined at the AV2 location. The average
of the locations in terms of antioxidant activity was determined as 89.06 mmol Trolox kg 1. The highest
total antioxidant value was obtained from AV2 location (121.90 mmol Trolox kg 1). The results showed
that A. vineale species had higher total phenol and antioxidant content than A. schoenoprasum species.
