Overview

Randomized trial evaluates antioxidant capacity of Cymbopogon essential oils, suggesting industrial crop selection criteria.

Key Points

  • To assess the antioxidant efficiency of essential oils from Cymbopogon species on a vegetable oil substrate.
  • Analyzed essential oils from Cymbopogon winterianus, Cymbopogon flexuosus, and Cymbopogon martinii.
  • Determined chemical composition via gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.
  • Conducted free radical scavenging activity and total phenol content assessments with a 0.2% EO application in sunflower oil.
  • FRSA values: 31.12% for CEO, 26.34% for PEO, 11.98% for LEO; TPC: 15.63 mg g −1 for CEO, 11.74 mg g −1 for PEO, 13.29 mg g −1 for LEO.
  • Antioxidant Efficiency Ratio (ACE) values: 2.922 for CEO, 0.317 for PEO, 0.052 for LEO.
  • Pearson correlation showed strong relationships between ACE and oxidation indicators, suggesting higher ACE indicates better antioxidant protection.
