Özet
Hawthorn (Crataegus azarolus) leaves are an underutilized plant resource with potential as a source of bioactive phenolic compounds. This study investigated the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of free and bound phenolics from hawthorn leaves and evaluated their functional properties. The extraction parameters were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) to maximize the total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). Under optimal conditions, the free phenolic content reached 78.61 mg GAE g− 1 dry weight (DW), whereas the bound phenolic content reached 13.56 mg GAE g− 1 DW, accounting for approximately 15% of the total phenolic content. The free phenolic fraction exhibited higher antioxidant activity than the bound fraction in the ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP assays. Both fractions inhibited α-amylase and α-glucosidase, demonstrating their in vitro enzyme inhibitory …
