Abstract

Ethyl acetate and methanol crude extracts from various parts of eighteen Tunisian plant extracts were screened for antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Evaluations of antioxidant activity include 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical- scavenging ability and β- carotene bleaching activity. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were determined spectrometrically according to the Folin-Ciocalteu procedure and a colorimetric method respectively.
The Results showed that total phonolic and flavonoid contents of the samples as well as antioxidant activities varied greatly among different plant parts and suggest that many plants are rich in antioxidant coumpounds. Interest will be taken to promising active plants particularly those which combine antioxidant properties with antimicrobial activities.
