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.
