- Abstract
The aim of this study was the investigation of the antioxidant and the antimicrobial potential of some ethanolic extracts from Hedera helix (leaves, flowers, immature and ripe fruits) and the correlation with the profile of polyphenols, using an LC/MS method. In all samples, the chlorogenic acid, isoquercitrin, rutin and quercetin have been identified. The DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay, Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) were used to evaluate the antioxidant effects and the results showed a better antioxidant activity for H. helix ripe fruits ethanolic extract and a positive correlation between antioxidant effects, polyphenolic and flavonoid contents. The antimicrobial effect was tested using six bacterial strains and the microdilution method. The immature fruits extract showed a significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, while both immature fruits and flowers extracts possess a good antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes.
