Özet

S-Carvone was isolated from Mentha spicata (Fam. Lamiaceae) and purified using chromatographic methods, and also characterized with GS-MS, FTIR, and NMR techniques. The antioxidant activity of S-carvone obtained from Mentha spicata was evaluated as in vitro using a total antioxidant activity test. Results were compared with a standard antioxidant, alpha-tocopherol. The results indicate that S-carvone possess high antioxidant activity compared to alpha-tocopherol.
