the aim of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties and to determine the phenolic content of the ethanol extract from five mentha species [m. longifolia (l.) huds., m. piperita l., m. pulegium l., m. rotundifolia (l.) huds., and m. spicata l.]. the antioxidant activities of the extracts were investigated with two different methods, 2,2’-diphenyl-1-picrylh...

This study was conducted to evaluate the hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic and antioxidant properties of Mentha spicata (Labiateae) leaves aqueous extract (MSLA) in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. In this study, hyperglycemia was induced in male rats by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg). The aqueous extract of M. spicata was orally administered at a dose of 300 mg/kg b...

The preparation of flavored vegetable oils using spice and herb plants is considered to be an indispensable opportunity for the application these plants. In present exploration, sunflower oil (SFO) samples by Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) were prepared maceration method (MM) ultrasound-assisted (UM). antioxidant effects, sensory evaluation oxidative stability during accelerated storage; physico...
