Objective: Evaluation of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of parsley leaves powder. Material and methods: Polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids contents as well as the antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scavenging activity and Ferric-reducing antioxidant power) were determined. Results: The determination of polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids revealed respective contents of 10.06 mg GAE/ g, 2.51 mg EQ/ g, and 4.32 mg EβC/ g of dry plant material. Parsley leaves powder exhibited also a strong antioxidant activity as revealed by both methods used in the present study.
