| Abstract: | The essential oil analysis of seeds and fruit pulp of Skimmia anquetilia N.P. Taylor &
Airy Shaw (Family ¾ Rutaceae) by the combination of GC and
GC-MS revealed the presence of fatty acids and esters of fatty acids, viz.
methyl linolenate, n-hexadecanoic acid and octadecanoic acid. Forty six and
fifty two compounds were identified in the essential oils, respectively. The
antioxidant activity of the water extracts of seed and fruit pulp were analyzed
by 2 2-diphenyl-1 picryalhydrazide (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, reducing
power assay and chelating activity of Fe2+. Both the extracts showed
moderate in vitro antioxidant activity.
