- Abstract
This analysis showed that the essential oils are rich in oxygenated monoterpenes (79.2-86.2%), followed by hydrocarbon monoterpenes (3.9-5.3%), and oxygenated sesquiterpenes (1.6-3.3%). On the other hand, the essential oil of I L. tenuisecta i has a different composition, characterized by the presence of camphor (20.9-26.4%), 1,8-cineol (19.4-38.1%), and fenchone (16.0-22.0%) as major compounds. The antioxidant activity of essential oils generally depends on their chemical composition and more precisely on the concentration and structure of molecules with antioxidant properties.
