Abstract
In recent years, the medicinal properties of elderberry have been researched due to its high content of polyphenolic compounds, especially flavonols, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. These compounds are known for effectively neutralizing free radicals and protecting the body from oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of process parameters on various elderflower extraction methods on the content of phenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. The extraction techniques used include maceration and mixing in a shaker, as examples of classical extraction methods. The study results indicate that higher concentrations of total phenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins are achieved using the shaking extraction technique, which is a more advanced method compared to maceration.
