Abstract

The objective of research was to study chemical composition, phenolic compounds and flavonoids of powderd from anise seeds and mint leaves. Anise seeds contain total carbohydrates 51.4 % , crude protein18.1 % , total lipids 13.7 % and total ash 14.9 % in the dry sample. While mint leaves contain carbohydrate 55 % , crude protein, total lipids 4.9 % and total ash 18.6 % in the dry sample .Total phenols in anise seeds were 237.8 and 216.6 mg / 100g , while total phenols in mint leaves were 278.9 and 234.3 mg / 100g in ethanolic and water extracts respectively. The total flavonoids in the anise seeds were 156.4 and 148.1 compared with the total flavonoids in mint leaves were 186.3 and 157.5 in ethanolic and water extracts respectively. HPLC results showed that anise seeds were contained 20 phenolic compounds, representing oleic acid, alkaline acid, cinnamic acid and catechein. The main active ingredients compared to 22 phenolic compounds were mint leaves containing Gallic, Gallic, Ferulic, and Rosmarinic That the main of phenolic compounds.
