Plants of the Lamiaceae family are rich in polyphenolic compounds, and
a large number are well known for their antioxidant properties. In the present
study, the essential oils of six species were evaluated for their chemical
composition and antioxidant activity.
The species used in
the present study were namely Origanum dubium, Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum, Thymbra
spicata, Thymus sipyleus, Satureja cilicica and Ziziphora clinopodioides, respectively. The essential oil
contents for Origanum
dubium was
4.6%, for Origanum
vulgare subsp. hirtum 3.4%,
Thymbra spicata 1.28%, Thymus sipyleus 1.78%, Satureja cilicica 1.64% and for Ziziphora clinopodioides was 0.35%. The
essential oils compositions were determined by GC-MS. Major identified
components were carvacrol for O. dubium, O. vulgare subsp. hirtum, and T. spicata; α-pinene for T. sipyleus; and borneol for Z. clinopodioides. Total phenolic
contents of essential oils have a very high equivalent amount compared to
gallic acid, however, low radical scavenging properties
