Abstract
The volatile oil of Sa/via fruticosa which was extracted from the green leaves using hydrodistillation had a yellow color/aromatic and its percentage was 0.7% . The oil was studded for its constitutes and antioxidant activity . GC-MS results showed the presence of twenty three component , ten of them were found in high (1,8-Cineole ,1 ,8-Cineol Isomer ,Camphor, Trans-p-Caryophyllene .o-Plnene ,p-Myrcene, Linalool . a-Terpineol «x-Terpineol isomer, aCamphene) .
The volatile oil was separated on silica gel plates using Benzene:
Ethyl acetate (94:6 v/v) as a mobile phase. The separated bonds were sprayed by solution of p-carotene and linoleic acid, in order to determinate its antioxidant activity . only the bands of RF (0.21,0.35,0.93) showed an antioxidant effect. p-carotene bleaching test was used to measure the antioxidant effect and to compare its activity with BHT . The results revealed that a clear antioxidant activity of the oil when compared to blank.
In an attempt to understand the mechanism by which the oil act antioxidant , DPPH' free radical test was used . A weak antioxidant effect was obtained for the five increased concentration used in this study when compared to BHT at 25 and 50 ppm . this could be attributed to the fact that the oil contain compounds which act as antioxidant by different mechanisms rather than its donation of proton (H+)
