Analysis reveals higher antioxidant activity and phenolic content in roots of Morus alba, indicating ethanol is a more effective extraction solvent.

Roots of white mulberry contain higher total phenolic content and antioxidant activity than leaves.
Ethanol extraction significantly increases total flavonoid content compared to water extraction.
DPPH and FRAP assays showed significant differences in antioxidant activity between leaf and root extracts.
Strong correlations were found between total phenolic and flavonoid content with antioxidant activity measures.

Azlan et al. (2025) studied this question.
