Antioxidants rich food protects human body against free radicals and reduces the risk of many health problems. Herbs and spices are known to contain a wide variety of antioxidants. Antioxidant activity, using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, TRP and CUPRAC assays, and total phenolic content of 23 culinary herbs and spices traditionally used in Serbian diet was evaluated. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), showed highest antioxidant activity according to all methods used in this study. Highest total phenolic content was recorded in oregano (Origanum vulgare) (13.61 mg GAE g⁻¹ FW). In order to evaluate relationships through various herbs and spices hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis were employed. Three statistical significant clusters were identified, grouping herbs and spices based on their antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. The similar grouping was observed with principal component analysis.
