| Abstract | ||
| Background: oxidative stress forms a worldwide problem of public health it is considered the origin of most human diseases, and free radicals are responsible for this oxidative stress.Objective: our study evaluates the antioxidant activity of the essential oils extracted from Clamintha officinalis and Abies numidica. The three tests, ABTS radical scavenging activity, antiradical activity DPPH and ferric reducing ability allowed us to study the antioxidant activity of the extracted essential oil.Results: doing the ABTS scavenging activity test, essential oils have shown a different antioxidant activity that increases in the following ways: A Numidia<Geraniol<Garavone. The result obtained by the anti-free radical activityby the anti-free radical activity test DPPH increase as follows: A. numidica. Conclusion: The results show that the antioxidant activity of essential oils extracted from Calamintha officinalis is more efficient compared to Abies numidica. Geraniol, carvone and thymol are used as reference compounds. | ||
