| dc.description.abstract | Variation in plant species and extraction solvents play a crucial role in the recovery of
their bioactive compounds and antifungal efficacy. Thus, in this study, a comparative investigation
was carried out using extraction solvents: 70% acetone and 95% ethanol to obtain crude aqueous
extracts from Helichrysum odoratissimum and H. patulum. Crude aqueous extracts were screened
using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), to gain insight into their chemical composition. Phytochemical properties (total polyphenols (TP) and radical scavenging capacity via
2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)), and antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea of the crude
extracts were evaluated. Fungicide (Rovral® WP) and extraction solvents were used as controls. | en_US |
