Antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the leaf essential oils of Himalayan Lauraceae species
Abstract
The leaf essential oils from seven Himalayan Lauraceae species viz. Neolitsea pallens, Lindera pulcherrima, Dodecadenia grandiflora, Persea duthiei, Persea odoratissima, Persea gamblei and Phoebe lanceolata exhibited potent antioxidant and antibacterial activities. The in vitro antioxidant activity was assessed by using beta-carotene bleaching assay, reducing power, DPPH radical scavenging and inhibition of lipid peroxidation methods. The oils of D. grandiflora and L. pulcherrima showed a potent free radical scavenging activity as evidenced by low IC(50) value for DPPH radical (0.032 mg/ml and 0.087 mg/ml, respectively) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation (in between IC(50)=0.44 mg/ml and IC(50)=0.74 mg/ml, respectively). The oils were tested against three Gram negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica enterica and Pasturella multocida) and one Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria at different concentrations using disc diffusion and tube dilution methods. The inhibition zones (IZ) and MIC values for bacterial strains were in the range of 8.7-22.0mm and 3.90-31.25 microl/ml, respectively.

Among seven Himalayan Lauraceae species, only Dodecadenia grandiflora and Lindera pulcherrima essential oils were able to inhibit lipid peroxidation using liver homogenate as substrate.
“Among seven Himalayan Lauraceae species, only the essential oils of Dodecadenia grandiflora and Lindera pulcherrima were able to inhibit lipid peroxidation, using liver homogenate as lipidic substrate.”
From Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Essential Oils: A Short Review (2010) · cites this paper as [44]
The ability of these Himalayan Lauraceae essential oils to inhibit linoleic acid oxidation was independent of the presence of phenolic compounds.
“Such activities were independent on the presence of phenolic compounds in the essential oils.”

Among seven Himalayan Lauraceae species, essential oils of Dodecadenia grandiflora, Lindera pulcherrima, and Persea gamblei were able to inhibit linoleic acid oxidation.
“From the seven Himalayan Lauraceae species, the essential oils of Dodecadenia grandiflora Nees, Lindera pulcherrima (Nees) Benth. ex Hook. f. and Persea gamblei (King ex Hook. f.) Kosterm were able to inhibit linoleic acid oxidation.”

Lindera pulcherrima, Dodecadenia grandiflora and Dodecadenia gamblei had the best inhibition of lipid peroxidation by TBARS and β-carotene bleaching, but only Dodecadenia grandiflora was a powerful DPPH radical scavenger.
“On the other hand Lindera pulcherrima, Dodecadenia grandiflora and Dodecadenia gamblei presented the best inhibition of lipid peroxidation determined through the TBARS method as well as in the β-carotene bleaching test, but in the DPPH method, only Dodecadenia grandiflora was a powerful DPPH radical scavenger [44].”

Not always the best activity found in the TBARS assay corresponds to the best ability to scavenge DPPH radicals.
“Not always the best activity found in the TBARS assay also corresponds to the best ability to scavenge DPPH radicals. Such was found [44,51].”

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.
