Objective: This research was aimed at assessing the concentration of total polyphenols in ethanolic and methanolic extracts of Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinula edodes mushrooms and antioxidant activity. Methods: Polyphenols were determined by the Folin Ciocalteu method, using lyophilized mushroom samples for the preparation of extracts and antioxidant activity by the TBARS method. Results: Extracts prepared from mushrooms showed appreciable values ​​of polyphenols, and for the ethanolic extract of Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinula edodes values ​​of 102.78 and 81.83 mg of gallic acid/100 g of the sample respectively, comparable to those obtained in some fruits For methanolic extracts, values ​​of 100.45 and 78.92 mg of gallic acid/100 g of sample were obtained. Polyphenol concentration values ​​for the Pleurotus were higher in the two types of extracts and lower for the Lentinula edodes. Conclusion: When evaluating the antioxidant activity, high antioxidant activity was found for the two types of mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinula edodes, presenting peroxidase inhibition values ​​of 88.04 and 89.49% respectively.

A study concerning the influence of climatic conditions on the oenological parameters of wine cultivars was carried out using six wine cultivars under the climatic conditions of 2019. Wine samples were taken from Ştefăneşti–Argeş, Babadag and Drăgăşani viticultural centres. Determination of the oenological parameters has been made for the following wine cultivars: Riesling Italian, Fetească Regală, Sauvignon Blanc, Feteascǎ Neagră, Merlot and Pinot Noir. The chemical parameters were determined using a Mindray BS 200 oenological analyser and the statistical analysis of the results was carried out using the Duncan test. A correlation was made between the parameters of the six wine cultivars from the three viticultural centres, focusing on the correlations between the total polyphenols of wines and their antioxidant activity.
