- Abstract
Four Cannabis sativa varieties (Fibranova, Felina, Futura and Fedora) were cultivated at the Experimental Farm of the TEI Thessaly, and it has been studied in the hemp leaf the total phenols content, phenolic fractions and the antiradical activity DPPH. The total phenols content in the hemp varieties studied ranged from 19.61 to 26.61 mg (GAE) / g dw, the nonflavonoid phenols content ranged from 7.54 to 8.41 mg (GAE) /gdw and the flavonoid phenols content ranged from 11.77 to 18.89 mg (GAE) / g dw. The antiradical activity DPPH• in the hemp varieties studied ranged from 8.4 to 12.7 pmol (Trolox)/g dw. The leaves of Fibranova variety they showed the highest polyphenols content and antiradical activity DPPH. The results showed that the hemp leaves can be used as potential sources of bioactive phenolic compounds for pharmaceutical purposes.
