Abstract:

The essential oils of branchlets and fruits of Juniperus excelsa subsp. excelsa and Juniperus excelsa subsp. polycarpos were examined for their antioxidant activity. The compositions of the essential oils were studied by GC and GC-MS. To evaluation the antioxidants activity of the volatile oils, pure components and positive controls at different concentrations, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) screening methods, diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, deoxyribose degradation test and modified deoxyribose degradation test were employed. The results of the present study demonstrate some antioxidant activity for the tested essential oils obtained from various parts of both plants. It indicates that the use of these essential oils, in very low concentrations, may be useful as a natural preservative. However before any final conclusion, it is suggested that the antioxidant activity of these oils should also be evaluated by using lipid solvent system methods.

تأثیر فرم رویشی و سایبان بر موفقیت نهال‌کاری ارس (.Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb)

با وجود مقاومت ارس (Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb.) به شرایط سخت محیطی، دخالت‌های انسانی منجر به تغییر شرایط طبیعی رویشگاه‌های ارس و درنتیجه کاهش زادآوری و وسعت رویشگاه‌‌های طبیعی آن شده است. از روش‌های احیای رویشگاه‌های طبیعی گونه‎های جنگلی می‌توان به نهال‌کاری اشاره کرد که پیش‌‌نیاز موفقیت در برنامه‎های احیا، شناخت عوامل مؤثر بر استقرار، ‌رشد و زنده‎مانی نهال‌ها است. در پژوهش پیش‌رو، اثر...
