The purpose of our study was to analyse the composition and antioxidant properties of phytocompounds in a rose extract (Rosa villosa L.). Spectroscopic and electrochemical methods were used to achieve this goal. UV-Vis and FTIR spectra helped to identify the polyphenols that are present in the tested extract compared with the literature data. Then, oxidation potential using cyclic and pulsed voltammetry was determined (Ep I = 0.47 V, Ep II = 0.68 V and Ep III = 1.58 V). Based on the CV and DPV parameters, which were determined from the ABTS spectroscopic methods, DPPH, FRAP and CUPRAC evaluated the antioxidant activity of the compounds that are present in the rose extract. Based on TG, the thermal stability of the rose extract was determined. A large correlation was found between the composition and the antimicrobial potential of the plant material tested, which is slightly lower than that of other plant-rich polyphenols (fruits, spices, vegetables). The extraction process itself, as well as the processing of rose fruit, has undoubtedly significantly reduced the antioxidants present in it. However, over-the-counter plant extracts can certainly compete and be an alternative for synthetic compounds, such as Trolox, BHA, and BHT, in cosmetics, food or drugs.
