of Satureja sahendica Bornm. and their antioxidant effects were
investigated, mainly by a combination of GC/MS. S. sahendica is
one of the endemic species of Satureja in Iran. The plant materials
separated to two different parts, 1-inflorescence (S1) 2- leaf and stem
(S2). Thirty to forty gram of each samples were subjected to hydro-distillation
for 4 h using a clevenger-type apparatus to produce oils. Hydro distillation
was repeated thrice for each sample and average was calculated. The oils
were found to be yellow liquid and were obtained in yields of 1.66 for
S1 and 1.5 for S2 based on v/w. Twenty nine compounds were identified
in the oil of S1 that Thymol (32.5%), γ-Terpinen (29.33%) and P-Cymene
(23.48) are main constituents and 23 compounds were characterized in the
oil of S2 that main constituents were P-Cymene (44.88%), Thymol (28.22%)
and γ-Terpinen (10.07%). The antioxidant effect of S1 and S2 compounds
were assessed by DPPH assay and RC50 values were and mg mL-1,
respectively.]]>Adams, R.P.,2004Biavati, B. and M. Ozcan,2004S. cunifolia Ten. and Thymbra sintenisii.]]>54393401Middletona, P., F. Stewarta, S. Al-Qahtania, P. Egana and C.
