• Antioxidant
• Lipid peroxidation

This study was aimed to confirm the potential of Cudrania tricuspidata(Carriere.) Bur. ex Lav. fruit essential oil (CTEO) in terms of its antioxidant efficacy in a panel of free radical scavenging models. CTEO was also assessed for its lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity and reducing power ability along with total phenolic content. The CTEO was obtained by hydrodistillation of C. tricuspidata fruits using a microwave-assisted extraction technique. The oil showed antioxidant capacity through the inhibition of DPPH, nitric oxide, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by 74.91, 74.95, 72.97 and 73.75%, respectively. Moreover, it displayed concentration-dependent reducing power and remarkable ferric ion-induced lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity. In addition, the CTEO yielded 8.61 +/- 0.02 mg/g gallic acid equivalent of phenolic content. These findings confirm significantefficacy of C. tricuspidata as a potential source of natural antioxidants.
