Sorbus subfusca (ledeb. ex. nordm.) boiss. (Sorbus subfusca) belongs to the Rosacese family. It is commonly referred to as highland rowan. It is an endemic species found only in the eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey and in a few countries on the Asian Continent. Both water (WESS) and ethyl alcohol (EESS) lyophilized forms were used as extracts. Different reducing capacity methods and radical scavenging activity methods were used to study the antioxidant activities of the extracts. Total phenolic compounds were calculated as 43.5 (WESS) and 43.0 (EESS) μg GAE/mg extract. This value is an indication that it can take place in plants with high phenolic content. Peroxidation inhibition percentages of linoleic acid emulsion at 20 μg mL-1 concentration for WESS and EESS; WESS was calculated as 70.93% and EESS as 82.63%. The high antioxidant capacity of Sorbus subfusca, an endemic species, brings up the preference of natural products as antioxidants. It is thought that these studies will draw a new path to the literature, especially alternative medicine and pharmacological studies.
