The current study, we investigated phenolic content and antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate and dichloromethane extracts of thyme, turmeric, propolis and their mixtures. The highest and the lowest phenolic contents were found in ethyl acetate extract of propolis (214.94±0.023 µg GAE/mL) and dichloromethane extract of thyme (21.02±0.013 µg GAE/mL). While total antioxidant capacity of ethyl acetate extracts ranges from 127.15±0.031 µg AAE/mL and 232.2±0.028 µg AAE/mL; dichloromethane extracts

According to the obtained results, it can be said that propolis, thyme, turmeric could be an alternative to synthetic antioxidants.
