Antioxidant activity of nine medicinal plants with commercial potential

Abstract Nine plants from the Puna ecoregion of northern Chile, traditionally used in ethnomedicine, were studied. The total content of phenolic compounds and their antioxidant capacity (ABTS, FRAP, and ORAC) were determined both in the dry material and in the infusions. To our knowledge, this is th...
