Abstract :This study aims to investigate the total chemical component, biological activity and chromatographic analysis of the fruit extract of Styrax officinalis, obtained from local markets trading local products in the Gaziantep region. Methanol was used to extract the pericarp and seed samples that make up the fruit. Fruit pericarp extract with high phenolic content showed a significant capacity in all antioxidant activity analyses. No antibacterial activity of the extracts was observed against the standard strains used. Regarding phenolic acid content, the most abundant phenolic acid in the fruit pericarp extract was chrysin and t-cinnamic acid. In contrast, in the seed extract, it was t-cinnamic acid and quercetin. HPLC results revealed that succinic acid was the main component of organic acid contents in all extracts. The fact that the main components determined from all analyses have various strong pharmacological activities reveals the importance of the widespread use of S. officinalis.
