Extraction of bio compounds from plant materials is one of the most
important step of the processes such as dietary supplement production and recovery
of the compounds from the industrial wastes. It is highly affected from the factors
such as solvent type, particle size, extraction time and temperature. To determine
the total phenolics, individual phenolic profile and antioxidant activity of Hawthorn
(Crataegus orientalis ) fruit extracted with different solvents and to specify the best
solvent for extraction of phenolics were aimed in this research. Fruits, picked from
wild growing trees in Beyşehir, were extracted with water, methanol and
methanol:water (1:1) mixture. Highest total phenolics and antioxidant activity were observed in methanol:water extract. While gallic acid was extracted effectively in
water, methanol:water mixture was the best solvent for extraction of procyanidin B1,
procyanidin B2, (-)- epicatechin, epigallocatechin gallate and rutin.
