Chemical analyzes and antioxidant activities of essential oils of four wild Mentha species growing in the Tokat and its districts
Abstract
The current work evaluated the chemical compositions of the essential oils (EOs) extracted from Mentha longifolia subsp. typhoides (Briq.) Harley var. typhoides PH. Davis, Mentha spicate L. subsp.spicata, Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson subsp.longifolia and Mentha villoso nervata Opiz from gowning in the different locations of Tokat. The antioxidant activities of EOs were tested using total antioxidant activity, reducing power, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, metal chelating, H2O2, DPPH˙ and O2˙- scavenging activities. The chemical compositions of EOs were determined by GC and GC-MS. Significant differences were recorded between the percentages of many constituents depending on the geographical. The most important components were identified consecutively: linalool (nd-62.80%), menthone (0.31-60.81%), pulegone (nd-21.52%), isomenthone (nd-30.15%) and piperitoneoxide (nd-68.92%). The inhibition of lipid peroxidation, O2˙- and H2O2 scavenging activities of the EOs were very effective but their reduction power values were low. The results obtained validate that EOs of four Mentha species possess a source of antioxidant potential for medicinal and foods.
