Abstract
A comprehensive investigation was carried out to determine the phytochemical properties of Fraxinusamericana and Fraxinus excelsior leaves extracts. In addition, infusion extraction method using onlywater as the extraction solvent and ultrasound-assisted extraction technique were followed comparativelyto extract the phenolic compounds from the leaves to estimate the efficacy of the traditional hot waterinfusion method. Initially, total antioxidant capacities, total phenolic contents, and radical scavengingactivities of the extracts were determined. Afterwards, 34 potential phenolic compounds were analyzedby LC-ESI-MS/MS technique. The paper gives a comprehensive insight to the literature about thephytochemical properties of Fraxinus americana and Fraxinus excelsior leaves extracts.
