Abstract:
Juniperus sabina L. and Juniperus communis L. J. are valuable plants due to their hardiness and usefulness, serving both ecological (landscape maintenance) and practical purposes (ornamental use, essential oil production, biological activity of their secondary metabolites). The fruits of these plants vary significantly in weight, chemical composition, and antioxidant activity depending on the growing location and year of harvest. The aim of this study was to compare some morphological properties, chemical constituents and antioxidant activity of the fruits of two juniper species: J. sabina L. and J. communis L. growing in the Republic of Moldova and the Republic of Armenia.
