abstract={The aim of this work was to study the characteristics of the extracts from two halophytes, sea fennel (<i>Crithmum maritimum</i> L.)<i> </i>and marsh samphire (<i>Salicornia europaea </i>L<i>.</i>)<i> </i>that naturally grow on the Mediterranean coast, by using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). Best conditions for UAE were found at temperature 50ˇăC, 20 min extraction time, 1:30 ratio solid:solvent and 40% (v/v) ethanol concentration. For SFE best conditions were at 50ˇăC and 300 bar pressures with 40% (v/v) ethanol concentration. Total extract yield, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity of the extracts were measured. For both species the best results were obtained with UAE technique. Between the two halophytes, the <i>C. maritimum </i>extract was the richest one in antioxidant compounds (total phenol = 23.44 mg GAE<SUB>s</SUB> g<SUB>dw</SUB><SUP>-1</SUP>); under the best conditions the <i>S. europea </i>extract allowed recording only 9.31 mg GAE<SUB>s</SUB> g<SUB>dw</SUB><SUP>-1</SUP> of total phenol.},
