Abstract
The chemical composition, the antiradical properties of Dendrobium speciosum (Orchidaceae) leaves and stem extracts have been studied. Furthermore, in view of the use of this orchid as “bush foods”, the genotoxic/antigenotoxic effects of the extracts have been evaluated.
• Dendrobium speciosum (Orchidaceae) as bush food. • Evaluation of genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity of the leaves and stems extracts. • Chemical composition to evaluate nutritional value (proteins, lipids and saccharides). • Polyphenols and flavonoids and their antiradical activity.
