CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF “BOʻSTONLIQ” ALMOND BLOSSOMS
Abstract
This research focuses on evaluating the chemical profile and antioxidant (antiradical) properties of almond (Prunus amygdalus) flowers belonging to the “Boʻstonliq” cultivar. Ethanolic and aqueous extracts were comparatively analyzed using the DPPH radical scavenging method.
