Two extraction techniques, Soxhlet and ultrasound‐assisted extraction (UAE), were used on two cultivars (yellow and orange) of T. erecta. Polyphenols were quantified using HPLC‐tandem mass spectrometry, whereas carotenoids and tocopherols were determined using HPLC‐diode array detection. Biological activity for antioxidant and antiglycation properties was carried out.RESULTS: The best extraction yield was obtained for UAE (7.51% and 6.83% for yellow and orange flowers), corresponding with the largest amounts of polyphenols quantified. The highest content of tocopherols was obtained in the yellow cultivar extracted by Soxhlet (6499.3 ± 21.2 and 4671.0 ± 92.9 mg kg−1 dry extract for α‐ and γ‐tocopherol). The antioxidant potential resulted higher in the orange Soxhlet extract, whereas the yellow Soxhlet extract displayed the best antiglycation activity (median 50% inhibitory concentration of 25.3 ± 3.3 μg mL−1).CONCLUSION: Both extraction techniques showed interesting results in terms of bioactivity and compounds obtention. 000150737 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/B44-20R 000150737 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000150737 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000150737 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-2231-7565$$aValero, Marta Sofía$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000150737 700__ $$aMustafa, Ahmed M 000150737 700__ $$aCaprioli, Giovanni 000150737 700__ $$aMaggi, Filippo 000150737 700__ $$aGómez-Rincón, Carlota 000150737 700__ $$aLópez, Víctor 000150737 7102_ $$11012$$2410$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
