Abstract. Flavonoids are phenolic compounds isolated from a wide variety of plants, and are valuable for their multiple
properties, including antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. In the present work, parsley (Petroselinum crispum L.)
extracts were obtained by three different extraction techniques: maceration, ultrasonic-assisted and microwave-assisted
solvent extractions. The extractions were performed with ethanol-water mixtures in various ratios. From these extracts,
flavonoids like the flavones apigenin and luteolin, and the flavonols quercetin and kaempferol were identified using an
HPLC Shimadzu apparatus equipped with PDA and MS detectors. The separation method involved a gradient step. The
mobile phase consisted of two solvents: acetonitrile and distilled water with 0.1 % formic acid. The separation was
performed on a RP-C18 column.
