Chemical Components and Antioxidant Activities of Rose Otto Essential Oil
In order to identify the chemical components of rose otto essential oil,GC-MS was used to analyze its chemical components.The an-tioxidant activity of rose essential oil in vitro was investigated with total antioxidant activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging ability as indicators.The experimental data showed that the main chemical components of rose otto essential oil are citronellol(45.97%),geraniol(22.8%),n-decadecane(14.89%),n-decane(3.74%),etc.The results of antioxidant activity test showed that in the concentration range of the test,both the total antioxidant capacity and the hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity,rose otto essential oil from Bulgaria showed good antioxidant activity,and was better than BHT to a certain extent.
