Antioxidant activities and chemical composition of essential oil of Pistacia atlantica from Algeria
Abstract
A total number of 34 samples of leaves of Pistacia atlantica Desf. collected randomly from four different locations in Algeria were submitted to hydrodistillation. The essential oils obtained at a yield range of 0.02-0.12% (v/w) were screened for theirs antioxidant activities in vitro using two different and complementary assays: the DPPH• (2,2-di-phenyl-1-picrilhydrazyl) free radical scavenging and the FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power). The result of the DPPH assay gives an IC₅₀ range value of (8.8-27.48)mg/mL for all the samples studied. BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and ascorbic acid were used for comparison purposes. The FRAP antioxidant activity test of the oil was expressed using ascorbic acid as standard reference antioxidant. Others synthetic antioxidants were used for comparison. The antioxidant expressed as Ascorbic acid Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (AEAC) has a range value of (2.8-11.1)mg/mL, i.e. that the sample oils are almost 3-11 times much more active than ascorbic acid. The essential oils were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The essential oil was rich in monoterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes. Forty-seven compounds were identified. The main compounds were not the same in the all analysed samples. The percentages ranges of the major components identified from the different locations were α-pinene+ α-thujene (5.54-66.61%), camphene (0.75-20.85%), β-pinene (1.09-13.12%), p-cymene (0.39-10.19%), terpinen-4,ol (0.42-15.97%) and spathulenol (0.46-32.64%).

“The antioxidant activity of Pistacia atlantica Desf. leaf oils from diverse origins of Algeria showed weak ability for scavenging DPPH free radicals, at least when compared to those of references (BHT and BHA). In contrast, the same oils had a higher antioxidant capacity relative to the antioxidant of reference ascobic acid when measured through the FRAP assay [78].”

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.
