The objective of this study was to evaluate antioxidant activities of vegetable extracts Dancus \ncarota L., grown in Serbia. Different experimental models have included the determination \ncontent of total phenolics, total flavonoids and antioxidant activities of extracts. From the \nsame material, two extracts were obtained by various methods: maceration and ultrasonic \nextraction. The highest content of phenolic compounds was detected in D. carota L. 50.42 mg \nGAE/g, ultasonic extract. The lowest content of phenolic compounds shown Dancus carota \nL. macerat, 17.45 mg GAE/g. The obtained antioxidant activities are in correlation with the \ncontent of phenolic components. On the basis of the results obtained, extract of were found to \nserve as a potential source of natural antioxidants due to their marked activity. The obtained \nresults may be useful in the evaluation of new dietary and food products.
