Article Synopsis
- Rose petals contain beneficial phenolic compounds like anthocyanins, which are linked to health benefits due to their antioxidant properties.
- Eighteen rose cultivars were analyzed for their total polyphenol, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity, revealing significant variation among them, with the highest anthocyanin content identified using advanced chromatography techniques.
- The study found that anthocyanin levels were positively correlated with antioxidant activity, and specific cultivars demonstrated both cytotoxic effects on melanoma cells and enhanced proliferation of normal skin cells.
