This study was carried out to determine the antioxidant activity of different parts (scap,
leaf, flower, bulb) of the forest hyacinth (Scilla bifolia) plant, which grows in Kadıralak plateau,
at an altitude of approximately 1300 meters in Tonya district of Trabzon province. Antioxidant
activities of plant parts were determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrihydrazil (DPPH) radical
scavenging activity and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAK) methods. According to
the results obtained, DPPH radical scavenging activity and TEAK were ranked as
scap>leaf>flower>bulb. While DPPH values were determined to be 94.20%, 92.65%, 87.41%,
32.01%, respectively, TEAK amounts were determined to be 9.32 μmol trolox/g, 9.17 μmol
trolox/g, 8.64 μmol trolox/g and 2.59 μmol trolox/g, respectively. When the results obtained in
both DPPH and TEAK methods were evaluated among themselves, statistical differences were
found (p<0.05). As a result of the results obtained, it was determined that especially scape and
leaf parts of the Scilla bifolia plant had significant antioxidant activity.
