Implication

Randomized trial reports antioxidant potential and fatty acid composition in Stachys germanica ssp. cordigera, highlighting significance.

Key Points

To characterize the seed oil of Stachys germanica ssp. cordigera, focusing on its chemical composition, physicochemical properties, and antioxidant potential.
Oil content analyzed to yield 27% oil from seeds.
Fatty acid composition determined by GC-MS.
Physicochemical properties assessed using standard measurement methods, including antioxidant activity via DPPH, TAC, and FRAP.
Oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids: linoleic (35.0%) and oleic (31.1%), and contained 6-octadecynoic acid (6.5%).
Physicochemical values: acid value 3 mg KOH/g, saponification value 188.8 mg KOH/g, iodine value 112 g I2/100g, peroxide value 13 meq O2/kg.
Moderate antioxidant activity: 62% DPPH inhibition (IC50 = 1.10 ± 0.25 mg/mL), TAC = 50.4 ± 1.7 mg AAE/g, FRAP = 45.2 ± 1.8 µmol Fe2+/g.
