Antioxidant activity of mastic oil and its major components, myrcene and α-pinene, using the DPPH and ABTS assays. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of IC50 values determined in at least three independent assays. Triplicate measurements were conducted in each assay. Ascorbic acid was used as a positive control.
| IC50 (μM) | ||
|---|---|---|
| DPPH | ABTS | |
| Mastic oil | n.d. | n.d. |
| Myrcene | n.d. | n.d. |
| α-Pinene | n.d. | n.d. |
| Ascorbic acid | 26.13 ± 0.16 | 30.71 ± 0.24 |
Note: n.d. = not determined.
