medicinal herb due to its beneficial effects on inflammatory disorders such as
arteriosclerosis, gout, and hepatitis. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory,
antimutagenic and anti-aging properties due to its rich antioxidant content.
The plants were collected from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Medicinal and
Aromatic Plants Garden in 2020. In this study; antioxidant activity, total
phenolic and flavonoid substance amounts and dualex values (nitrogen balance
index (NBI), chlorophyll content, flavonol and anthocyanin content) were
examined. In the results of working; The amount of antioxidant substance was
determined as 124.87 µmol TE/g, total phenolic substance (211.50 mg GAE/g) and
total flavonoid substance amount was determined as 11.87 mg QE/100 g. The data
obtained in terms of Dualex values (dx) such as Nitrogen Balance Index (NBI),
chlorophyll content, flavonol and anthocyanin content are respectively; It was
determined as 13.73 mg/g, 25.80 mg/cm2, 1.88 dx and 0.07 dx.
