Abstract

Our work aims at studying medicinal and aromatic plants very well by the local population. It is called Malva sylvestris. The phytochemical tests, which had been done while studying these plants permitted to us to dictect different families of the chemical compounds existing in both of these plant’s leaves, and the evaluation in vitro antioxidant activity of phenolic extracts by using the 2,2- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical.

Keywords:  Malva sylvestris, antioxidant, phenolic extract, phytochemical tests.
