Methanol (MeOH) extracts, infusions and decoctions of eight plants were investigated for their antioxidant activity using phosphomolybdenum and 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl assays: Cassia angustifolia (Senna tea), Foeniculum vulgare (fennel), Pimpinella anisum (anise), Laurus nobilis (laurel), Tilia vulgaris (linden tea), Urtica dioica (nettle), Petroselinum crispum (parsley) and Anethum graveolens (dill). The results showed that the highest antioxidant activity was found in MeOH extract of linden. Linden MeOH extract also contained the highest amount of phenolic compound. The antimicrobial activities of MeOH extracts, infusions, decoctions and hydrosols were tested against eight bacteria and two yeasts using the agar diffusion method. Correlations between the phenolic content of each plant and the antioxidant activity were observed.
