Abstract
Artemisia vulgaris essential oil exhibited a strong metal chelating activity but withlow reducing power, and radical scavenging activity. However, a gradual increase in the radical scavenging activity was obtained with increasing concentration and reaction time.
Keywords
Artemisia vulgaris essential oil; antioxidant activity; metal chelatin activity; reducing power;
