Phenol-rich alternatives for Rosa x damascena Mill. Efficient phytochemical profiling using different extraction methods and colorimetric assays.

ABSTRACT: Damask rose is a well-established, abundant source of phytochemicals, as well as economically important essential oil-however, its cultivation is demanding and costly. In this paper, extracts from four raw plant materials-Salvia officinalis, Sambucus nigra, Matricaria chamomilla, Calendula officinalis, known to be rich in phenolic compounds, but also far easier to cultivate-were directly compared to those obtained from Rosa × damascena Mill. By combining diverse extraction methodologies (in a Soxhlet apparatus, ultrawave-assisted and microwave-assisted, using supercritical CO₂) and complementary in vitro assays (radical scavenging, iron reducing, Folin-Ciocalteau and Al³⁺ complexation), it was possible to conveniently approximate and compare the phytochemical portfoli
