Abstract
The water distillated essential oil of Citrus medicacollected from Ramsar, Province of Mazandaran, North of Iran collected in December 2013, was analyzed using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The yield of oil was 0.20% w/w. Sixtheen components representing 99.6% of the essential oil were characterized. Limonene (46.9%) and γ-terpinene (34.3%) were identified as the main constituents in the volatile oil. The antioxidant ability of the oil was examined by free radical scavenging method using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical at different concentration of the oil. TheCitrus medica oil exhibited free-radical-scavenging properties with IC50 value of 348.72μg ml-1.
