Aim and Background: Savory plant Satureja sp. It is one of the types of medicine that has many therapeutic properties such as controlling diabetes and blood sugar, blood pressure, constipation, diarrhea, etc. The aim of this study was to evaluate the constituents and antioxidant properties of the essential oil of this plant.
Materials and Methods: In this study, two species of savory plants (S. sativa and S. multica) were collected from two natural and agricultural habitats and after drying in the shade, essential oil was extracted by Clevenger apparatus. Its antioxidant was evaluated using DPPH and FRAP methods and determination of total phenol.
Results: The results showed that the highest percentage of free radical degradation was due to the use of 4 mg / ml of essential oil of plants harvested from the sativa species of 82.26% and on the other hand the lowest percentage of free radical degradation. From the concentration of 0.5 mg / ml of essential oils of plants harvested from the cultivation of multica species was 24.87%. Essential oil of multica species obtained from natural habitat, at a concentration of 4 mg / ml with a numerical value of / 84 in FRAP method and total phenol, with a numerical value of 2.14, showed the highest antioxidant properties.
Conclusion: In this study, it was found that among species and natural and agricultural habitats, safflower essential oil of multica species in natural habitat has the most antioxidant effect and factors such as soil type, and climate can affect the essential oil.
