Abstract :Recent pharmacological investigations of bryophytes have proven that the active principles present in these plants are quite unique and having potential chemical application and antioxidant capacity. In this study, the volatile components in extracts from Thuidium tamariscinum (Hedw.) Schimp. and Platyhypnidium riparioides (Hedw.) Dixon, Kazdağları (Kalkim-Yenice, Çanakkale, Turkey) were isolated by solid phase micro extraction technique and identified by mass selective detector gas chromatography (GC-MS). Antioxidant capacities of these species were determined by CERAC and CUPRAC methods and phenolic contents by Folin-Ciocalteu method.Keywords : Thuidium tamariscinum and Platyhypnidium riparioides, mosses, antioxidant activity, GC-MS, TEAC, CUPRAC methods
