  abstract = {{I}llicium verum (badiane or star anise), {C}rataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna (hawthorn) and {A}llium cepa (onion), have traditionnally been used as medicinal plants in {A}lgeria. {T}his study showed that the outer layer of onion is rich in flavonols with contents of 103 +/- 7.90 mu g/g {DW} (red variety) and 17.3 +/- 0.69 mu g/g {DW} (white variety). {W}e also determined flavonols contents of 14.3 +/- 0.21 mu g/g 1.65 +/- 0.61 mu g/g for {C}rataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna leaves and berries and 2.37 +/- 0.10 mu g/g for {I}llicium verum. {Q}uantitative analysis of anthocyanins showed highest content in {C}rataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna berries (5.11 +/- 0.266 mg/g), while, inner and outer layers of white onion had the lowest contents with 0.045 +/- 0.003 mg/g and 0.077 +/- 0.001 mg/g respectively. {F}lavonols extracts presented high antioxidant activity as compared with anthocyanins and standards antioxidants (ascorbic acid and quercetin). {A}llium cepa and {C}rataegus oxyacantha ssp monogyna exhibited the most effective antimicrobial activity.},
