Abstract(s)

Plants of the genus Taraxacum have been used for years in medicine and food. This genus, with a complex taxonomy, includes some species of difficult distinction, where T. hispanicum is included. The leaves of these plants, known as dandelion, continue to be used as infusions, ethanolic extracts, or as juice. Since the plant represents an important source of pharmacologically active molecules, namely antioxidant activity, it is important to develop extractive procedures to maximize its potential health benefits.
