摘要

The electron paramagnetic resonance tests carried out indicated that both the technique and the conditions of sterilization of dried white mulberry leaves were chosen correctly, as no significant differences were found between the concentration and the properties of free radicals in the analyzed samples. The high temperature short time method steam sterilization process, the temperature, as well as the time of exposure to it during the preparation of water extracts resulted in no significant change in the content of polyphenol compounds in the samples analyzed. However, the total antioxidant activity increased, which suggested that despite technological processing mulberry leaves do not lose their antioxidative properties.
