Abstract

The production of high quality plant extracts is the basis for the production of herbal preparations and the isolation of bioactive ingredients. Recently, there is a tendency of replacing synthetic antioxidants, due to their toxic and potentially cancerous effects, with natural antioxidants. For this reason, it is necessary to intensify research of antioxidative and biological effects of plant extracts, as well as the influence of the process conditions of extraction on the mentioned effects and the yield of extraction. In this paper, the antioxidative activity of sage extract was tested, depending on the concentration of methanol as a solvent in the process of maceration with occasional mixing. Total phenolic and flavonoid content in obtained sage extracts was determined spectrophotometrically. The radical scavenging capacity was determined by the DPPH method, where the extract concentration required for the neutralization of 50% of the initial concentration of the DPPH radical was also determined.
