Antioxidant activity of rosemary essential oil against ABTS and DPPH radicals and linoleic acid peroxidation*

Extraction methods Inhibition of ABTS radical oxidation (%) TEAC (mM/ml oil) Inhibition of DPPH radical oxidation (%) Inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation (%)
MAHD 69.7 ± 5.73a 1.5 ± 0.10a 60.5 ± 10.68a 92.5 ± 4.90a
HD 82.0 ± 14.63a 1.9 ± 0.45a 51.0 ± 18.39a 91.5 ± 3.58a

Results were given as mean ± SD, (n = 6)

*Different letters means that there are significant differences between different extraction methods in the same column (p < 0.05)
