Effect of agricultural digestate on antioxidative properties and antimicrobial activity of hemp (Cannabis sativa) leaves

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the influence of the applied fertilizer (agricultural digestate) on antioxidative properties and antimicrobial activity of leaves of hemp ‘Futura75’ cultivar, valuable in the nutritional process. An attempt was also made to establish correlations between the antioxidative properties and antimicrobial activity of the leaves and fertilizer doses. The total polyphenol content (TPC) and free radical scavenging activity were determined by means of the spectrophotometric method, whereas the polyphenol profile was identified with the high-performance
