Abstract :The present study aimed to determine the total antioxidant status, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index of the ethanol extracts obtained from the fruits of Rosa canina L. plant collected in Erzincan province (Turkey). In this context, the fruit samples of the plant were extracted with ethanol (EtOH) using a Soxhlet device. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) were determined using Rel Assay kits. It was determined that the TAS value of the plant was 4.602±0.215 mmol/L, the TOS value was 6.294±0.191 μmol/L and the OSI was 0.138±0.010. As a result, R. canina exhibited high antioxidant activities.Keywords : Rosa canina, antioxidant, oxidant, medicinal plant
