Smyrnium olusatrum is an aromatic, antiscorbutic herb. This Work has just given in value this herb for its antioxidant properties. The analysis by GC and NMR of carbon-13 separated and highlighted furanodiene/furanoelemene like majority compounds (46%). Oil rich on sesquiterpenes has in vitro the faculty to reduce free radical 2.2'diphenylpicrylhydrazyl thus showing an antioxidant property other that related to the ascorbic acid whose plant is a notable source in this vitamin.

Smyrnium olusatrum is an aromatic, antiscorbutic herb. This Work has just given in value this herb for its antioxidant properties. The analysis by GC and NMR of carbon-13 separated and highlighted furanodiene/furanoelemene like majority compounds (46%). Oil rich on sesquiterpenes has in vitro the faculty to reduce free radical 2.2'diphenylpicrylhydrazyl thus showing an antioxidant property other that related to the ascorbic acid whose plant is a notable source in this vitamin.
