Antioxidant capacity of Ocimum basilicum L. and Origanum vulgare L. extracts.
The antioxidant properties of five different extracts (Et₂O, CHCl₃, EtOAc, n-BuOH, and H₂O) of Ocimum basilicum L. and Origanum vulgare L. were studied. Antioxidant activity was assessed in six different model systems. Free radical scavenging capacity (RSC) was evaluated by measuring the scavenging capacity of extracts on DPPH, NO, O₂•⁻ and OH radical, as well as on hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). In...
متن کاملEffects of nitrogen fertilization on the phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).
Many herbs and spices have been shown to contain high levels of polyphenolic compounds with potent antioxidant properties. In the present study, we explore how nutrient availability, specifically nitrogen fertilization, affects the production of polyphenolic compounds in three cultivars (Dark Opal, Genovese, and Sweet Thai) of the culinary herb, basil ( Ocimum basilicum L.). Nitrogen fertilizat...
متن کاملChemical composition and antioxidant capacity of free volatile aglycones from basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) compared with its essential oil
The present paper examines the chemical composition and antioxidant capacity of free volatile aglycones from basil compared to their essential oil. The comparison of chemical composition of volatile aglycones with the chemical composition of essential oil reveals four common compounds: eugenol, chavicol, linalool and a-terpineol. For the evaluation of the mentioned antioxidant capacities, two d...
متن کاملChemical Constituents and Antioxidant Capacity of Ocimum basilicum and Ocimum sanctum
The chemical constituents of leaves, inflorescence, and flowers from Ocimum basilicum (Thai basil) and Ocimum sanctum (Holy basil) were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The chemical compounds were extracted by hydrodistillation, headspace-solid phase microextraction, and solvent extraction. The main constituents of Ocimum basilicum were identified to consist of estragole (...
متن کاملEffects of Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) and Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) Aqueous Extracts On in vitro Rabbit Immune Responses
Natural antioxidants are receiving increasing attention in human and animal nutrition because of their association with food quality characteristics and immune responses [1,2]. Among a variety of plants bearing anti-oxidative constituents, the Labiatae family (mint plants) has been attracting the greatest interest [3], with particular attention to products from oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) and...
