There are most studies on the antioxidant activity of Ribes nigrum and R. rubrum; however, this activity has been restricted on the other species. In the present study, the phenolic contents and antioxidant activities of different extracts prepared with methanol (MeOH), dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-buthanol (BuOH) and water from the leaf and branch of Ribes alpinum, R. anatolica, R. biebersteinii, R. multiflorum, R. nigrum, R.orientale, R.rubrum and R. uva-crispa, (Grossulariaceae) of Turkish origin were investigated by using in vitro methods.
