Abstract
The content of vitamin C, carotenes, polyphenols, total carbohydrates and total soluble proteins was determined, alongside with the activity of the oxidative stress enzymes (superoxide-dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, isocitrat-dehydrogenase, ketoglutarat-dehydrogenase, succinat-dehydrogenase and malat-dehydrogenase) in Rosa canina L. samples collected from the heavy metals and arsenic polluted area around of Tarni�a closed mine, as well as from Sucevita area (as unpolluted site). The results showed an increase in the rose hip richness of nutrients and biological-active compounds, as well as the antioxidant activity of the samples from Tarnita area.We have explained our results taking into consideration the response of rosa plants to the oxidative stress produced by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species generated byexposure to pollutant factors from the contaminated area.
