- Abstract
The present paper describes the important components of the Autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale) plant studied. The aim of our study was to characterize antioxidant activity, protein, carbohydrate and phytochemical compounds determinations (polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids) of the hidroalcoolic extract obtained using autumn crocus (Colchicum autumnale) plant. The samples (flowers and roots) were analyzed by UV-VIS, FTIR and RAMAN spectroscopy. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using DPPH method.
