- Abstract
The medicinal herbs, a valuable source of biologically active compounds, have been used in folk medicine for various diseases, but phytochemical exploration is still incomplete. This study presents the extractive technological processes and spectrophotometric characterization of threeindigenous plants in order to obtain anantifungal formula with applications inhorticulture.Therefore, it was evaluated the antioxidant activity, total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid contents (TFC) and the correlation between them for individual extracts obtained by two different methods: Soxhlet (S) and percolation (P).The obtained data showed a significant difference both between the plant material used, as well as the extraction method applied. Most of the extracts prepared by Soxhlet method had higher antioxidant properties and phenolic contents than the ones obtained by percolation. Based on the results, were elaborated five association formulas, of which Rosmarinus officinalisL. combination 1:1 (S: P) showed the best results:TPC - 236.38 mg GAE / g DW, TFC - 247.11 mg rutin / g DW, EC50 - 0.030 mg/mL.
