Abstract

Abstract The composition and antioxidant activities of Pistacia atlantica Desf. essential oil were investigated. Qualitative and quantitative differences in compositions and in antioxidant activities of male and female leaf essential oils were observed during the season. The essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation were analysed by GC and GC–MS. The oils were rich in monoterpenes hydrocarbons and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. The main components of male essential oil were α ‐pinene/ α ‐thujene, spathulenol and bicyclogermacrene. The major component of female essential oil was δ ‐3‐carene. The seasonal variation showed that most of the main components of the oils reached theirs highest values in September. The antioxidant activity of the oil was investigated in vitro using two assays: DPPH · (2,2‐di‐phenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl) free radical‐scavenging and FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power). The highest antioxidant capacity to scavenge free DPPH radicals was reached in the month of June for male oils and during the months of September–October for the female oils. The high reducing power for male oil was observed during the month of June and for the female oil it was in August. The female oil was more active than the male oil. The antioxidant capacity of the female oil was almost ten times higher than Ascorbic acid in the FRAP assay.

  • The highest DPPH radical scavenging was in June for male Pistacia atlantica oils and September-October for female oils; high reducing power was in June for male and August for female; female oil antioxidant activity was almost ten times higher than ascorbic acid in FRAP.

    “The highest antioxidant capacity to scavenge free DPPH radicals was reached in the month of June for male oils and during the months of September - October for the female oils. The high reducing power for male oil was detected during the month of June and for the female oil was in August. The antioxidant activity of the female oil was almost ten times higher than ascorbic acid in the FRAP assay [”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
