Abstract
This study aims to identify the chemical compositions and antioxidant activities of essential oil, extracted from the leaves of Neolitsea aciculata (Blume) Koidz by the hydrodistillation method. To the end, the chemical composition of N. aciculata leaf oil was firstly analyzed through GC/MS. The major constituents of essential oil were found to be: cis-ocimene (11.00%), trans-ocimene (9.65%), elemol (9.15%), ${\beta}$-elemene (8.75%), germacrene-D (7.55%), trans-caryophyllene (5.90%), ${\gamma}$-elemene (5.40%) and ${\tau}$-muurolol (4.95%). Then, the antioxidant potential of the essential oil was evaluated by the methods of total polyphenolic content (TPC) assay, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). It was estimated that the total polyphenolic content of the oil was $136.7{\pm}0.13\;mg\;GAE/g$ and the efficient concentration of the oil required to scavenge 50% DPPH radicals ($EC_{50}$ value) was $639.33\;{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. Also, ABTS radical scavenging activity was identified to be concentration dependent, while the FRAP value was $31.21{\pm}0.12\;{\mu}M$ $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O/g$. Such figures, as a result, suggest that the essential oil extracted from the leaves of N. aciculata has its antioxidant activity, which can serve as significant health functional benefits.
