Abstract

Grapevine, which has an important place among our agricultural products due to different evaluation forms, also makes a great contribution to the national economy. The value of grapes increased thanks to their importance for human health and nutrition and to the fact that they have many forms of evaluation [1]. Anatolian people who know how to benefit from different forms of grapes have also used the leaves of grapes for various purposes particularly as a new product in their cuisine which enriched their culinary culture [2]. This study was aimed to determine the antioxidant activity, amount of phenolic substances and antimicrobial properties of the grape leaf extracts and so to reveal the bioactive component properties of grape variety. In addition, the mineral composition of the leaves were also examined.
