Pressurised liquid and supercritical fluid extraction applied to Bergenia crassifolia.
Consecutive extraction with increasing polarity solvents produced several fractions.
Root and leaf extracts isolated with polar solvents were strong antioxidants in vitro.
Main phytochemicals were quantified in extracts and plant material by UPLC–MS/MS.
The content of bergenin was many times higher in roots than in leaves.
