abstract

background: it has been considered by researchers to study the possibility of replacing chemical food additives (synthetic antioxidants) by natural products (medicinal plants). objective: this study investigated the antioxidant properties of satureja hortensis l. essential oil (sheo) on safflower oil oxidation. methods: different assays have been used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of sheo: total phenol content (tpc), dpph•, abts+•, ferric thiocyanate (ftc), β - carotene bleaching. for evaluation of sheo effect on safflower oil oxidation, peroxide value (pv), conjugated dienes (cd), and tiobarbituric acid (tba) indices were compared with bht (a synthetic antioxidant). results: tpc of sheo was determined to be 293.7 mg gallic acid equivalent in 1 ml of sample and ic50 was 0.71 mg/ml in dpph•. 0.4 and 0.1 mg/ml of sheo at all time (1, 5, 10, 15 min) showed the highest and lowest antiradical abts°+ activity (118.2 and 26.6 μg/ml ascae =ascorbic acid equivalent) in 15 min. in ftc and ftc-tba, 8 mg/ml sheo showed the highest activity. in β-carotene bleaching of 0.1-2 mg/ml sheo, 0.1 has the minimum (%9.02), and 1 and 2 has the maximum inhibitory effects (%34.33 and %36.86 inhibitions). 4 mg/ml of sheo had the highest inhibitory effect in the safflower oil test and that peroxide does not have significant difference with 0.1 mg/ml bht. conclusion: antioxidant activities of sheo concentrations increased in all indices (p< 0.05) and various concentrations were able to slow down the oxidation process.

Antioxidant Potential of Eugenia caryophyllus, Satureja hortensis and Artemisia dracunculus Essential Oils in Grape Seed Oil

BACKGROUND: Autoxidation is an irreversible reaction which occurs with the effect of oxygen in the air, and results in unpleasant taste and smell that are known as the signs of rancidity in oil. OBJECTIVES: In this study, the antioxidant potential of clove, summer savory and tarragon essential oils (EOs) in grape seed oil was evaluated. METHODS: Effects of EOs at different concentrations (0.3, ...
