Phenolic compounds content and antioxidant capacity from Viscum album ssp. album Beck. leaves and twigs extracts were determined. Common mistletoe was collected from four hosts (Crataegus monogyna, Malus domestica, Prunus cerasifera, and Populus x canadensis.). Folin-Ciocalteu method, AlCl3 method, method with Arnow reagent, and acid-butanol assay were applied for determination of total phenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids and proanthocyanidins respectively. DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods were applied in the determination of antioxidant capacity of the extracts. Total phenols were in the range 7.16-11.70 mg GAE/g DW, flavonoids 2.115-4.668 mg RE/g DW, phenolic acids 0.811-1.789 mg caffeic CAE/g DW, and proanthocyanidins 0.71-2.62 mg LCE/g DW. Content of phenols and flavonoids was higher in the leaves than the twigs. The highest antioxidant capacity in leaves (50.86-65.93 µmol Trolox equivalents/g DW) was determined for mistletoe collected from Crataegus monogyna while the highest capacity in twigs had mistletoe collected from Malus domestica (67.28-81.72 µmol Trolox equivalents/g DW). Also, high correlation has been noticed between total phenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids and antioxidant capacity for V. album leaves. For twigs, high correlation was obtained between phenols and antioxidant capacity, and in some moderate extends for proanthocyanidins.
