These assays include FRAP (ferric ion reducing antioxidant power), Analysis of total polyphenol, CUPRAC (Cupric Reducing Antioxidant Capacity) and Total flavonoids assay. Also the antimicrobial activity was examined by the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) method for each sample.According to the antioxidant results determined, among the samples examined fruit of the sumac (Rhus Coriaria L.) (SUM) plant has the best antioxidant activity in almost applied all antioxidant analyzes. On the other hand, fruit of almond (Prunus dulcis) (BAM) were found to show low antioxidant activity in almost all analyzes.As a result of the antimicrobial analyzes performed, it was found that the plant extracts were generally more effective on yeast strains than the test bacteria used, that is, Most of the plants investigated have antifungal effect.
