Abstract :This study was related to evaluating the antioxidant of one pollen sample which was collected from Giresun, Turkey. The antioxidant properties of this sample were determined to use total phenolic contents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TPCs);, total flavonoid contents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TFCs);, proanthocyanidin contents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PCs);, and ferric reducing antioxidant power insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FRAP); assays. The mean of the total phenolic content was 6.33±0.11 mg GAE/ g sample, total flavonoid content was 1.88±0.11 mg QE/g sample, proanthocyanidin content was 0.86±0.00 mg CE/g sample, FRAP was also 72.38±0.21 µmoL FeSO4.7H2O/g, respectively. The obtaining results revealed that the pollen could be seen as a valuable natural source thanks to its significant antioxidant capacity.
