ABSTRACT


Chemical composition and in vitro antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities of essential oils obtained from leaves and flowers of Pistacia atlantica were studied . GC/GC-MS analyses of the essential oils afforded twenty-two compounds from flower oil and thirty from leaf oil. The antioxidant activity of the essential oils was determined using b -carotene-linoleic acid, DPPH • and ABTS • + -scavenging effects . The essential oils exhibited a good antioxidant activity and inhibited the activity of acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase.
