Chemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity of the Essential Oil from Hedeoma mandoniana Grown in Cuzco

摘要

The chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Hedeoma mandoniana Wedd. grown in Cuzco was studied. A total of 125 volatile compounds were identified in the essential oil, of which the most prominent were pulegone (35.3%), trans-menthone (9.8%) and limonene (9.2%). The essential oil had a low radical-scavenging activity determined by the ABTS method.
