Abstract

Hydrodistilled volatile oil obtained from the aerial parts of Artemisia judaica L. cultivated near Illizi, Algeria, was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). More than 20 compounds were identified, the major constituents of essential oil were piperitone (79.04 %), davanone (7.23 %) and (4E,6E)-2-methyl-2,4,6-octatriene (5.32 %). Isolated essential oil was tested for radical-scavenging ability using the stable 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) radical and for reducing power ability with a test based on the reduction of ferric cations (FRAP). In all tests, oil shows a prominent antioxidant activity. The screening of antimicrobial activity of all the essential oils was evaluated against representatives of Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, using the agar diffusion method. All tested microorganisms were inhibited by the essential oil of A. judaica.
