Histological Research and Phytochemical Characterization of <i>Capsella bursa-pastoris</i> Medik. from Bihor County, Romania by Sorina-Georgiana Onea (Minz), Annamaria Pallag, Cristina Burlou-Nagy (Fati), Tünde Jurca, Laura Gratiela Vicaș, Marian Eleonora, Neli Kinga Olah, Rita Kiss, Bianca Pașca

“…This study investigated the quantitative chemical composition of this species using the HPLC method, revealing the total content in polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins, and investigated the antioxidant potential through fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP assay), cupric ion (Cu²⁺) reduction, (CUPRAC assay), and a free radical scavenging method (DPPH). Our results show that CBP is a rich source of flavonoids, mainly from the extract obtained from the fruits; it has an antioxidant capacity, with the highest values being obtained from mature flowers and ripe fruits. …”
