摘要：In this study, the total phenolic content, DPPH• and ABTS•+ radical scavenging activities of olive leaves and fruits of “Ayvalik” and “Memecik” cultivars which were harvested from the Directorship of Bornova Olive Research Station during 2008/09 and 2009/10 harvest years were investigated. According to the cultivars, DPPH• and ABTS•+ radical scavenging activities of olive leaves and also the olive fruits total phenolic content, DPPH• and ABTS•+ radical scavenging activities were found statistically significant (P<0.001). The total phenolic content of “Ayvalik” olive leaves 237.73 and 235.64 mgCAE/100 g, “Memecik” olive leaves 230.64 and 233.73 mgCAE/100 g, “Ayvalik” olive fruits 279.39 and 198.87 mgCAE/100 g, “Memecik” olive fruits 349.72 and 253.40 g mgCAE/100 g were determined, in 2008/09 and 2009/10 years, respectively. As a conclusion, statistically significant differences were not determined between the total phenolic contents of “Ayvalik” and “Memecik” olive leaves. On the other hand, total phenolic content of “Memecik” olive fruits were found significantly higher than “Ayvalik” olive fruits, in both harvest year.
