Abstract :Arum dioscoridis SM. var. dioscoridis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( A. dioscoridis ); which is a member of Arum L. genus and belonging to Araceae family was extensively analyzed in detail. DPPH free radical scavenging capacity of A. dioscoridis was obtained as 0.01091 mg gallic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GA); and 0.0929 mg Trolox insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tr); equivalent per mg of extract, respectively, based on DPPH free radical scavenging activity analysis. Chemical composition of A. dioscoridis was evaluated and 16 compounds were detected in the methanolic extract using GC-MS. Obtained compounds were assessed for their health benefits according to literature works. 20 elements were obtained in the m ineral and trace element analysis by ICP-MS using microwave digestion procedure .
