Salvia desoleana Atzei et Picci Steam-Distillation Water By-Products as a Source of Bioactive Compounds with Antioxidant Activities

In this study, water residue obtained from Salvia desoleana Atzei et Picci steam distillation was evaluated for its antioxidant activity in vitro using different experimental models. In particular, the study evaluated the antiradical and antioxidant activity of Salvia desoleana extracts using CUPRAC, FRAP, DPPH•, and ABTS•+ assays; and tested ROS scavenging activity in Caco-2 cell cultures. Phenolic compounds were identified by (HR) LC-ESI-QTOF MS/MS and quantified with HPLC-PDA. Furthermore,...
