The essential oils of myrtle and parsley seed contained alpha-pinene (36.08% and 22.89%, respectively) as main constituents. Trans-Anethole was the major compound found in fennel and aniseed oils (66.98% and 93.51%, respectively). The dominant constituent of celery seed oil was limonene (76.63%). Diallyl disulphide was identified as the major component in garlic oil (36.51%). Antiradical activity was higher in garlic oil (76.63%) and lower in myrtle oil (39.23%). The results may suggest that some essential oils from Iraq possess compounds with antiradical activity, and these oils can be used as natural antioxidants in food applications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMmyrtleParsleyFennelCeleryGarlicEssential OilArticle10.1080/14786419.2010.535149262132139218273292-s2.0-84856269303Q2WOS:000302310000005Q3
