The essential oil from<jats:italic>M. longifolia<\/jats:italic>aerial parts was isolated by hydrodistillation technique using Clevenger-type apparatus. The extracts were prepared with three solvents of different polarity (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>-hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol) using Soxhlet extractor. Maximum extract yield was obtained with methanol (12.6\u2009g\/100\u2009g) while the minimum with dichloromethane (3.50\u2009g\/100\u2009g). The essential oil content was found to be 1.07\u2009g\/100\u2009g. A total of 19 constituents were identified in the<jats:italic>M. longifolia<\/jats:italic>oil using GC\/MS. The main components detected were piperitenone oxide, piperitenone, germacrene D, borneol, and<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-caryophyllene. The total phenolics (TP) and total flavonoids (TF) contents of the methanol extract of<jats:italic>M. longifolia<\/jats:italic>were found to be significantly higher than dichloromethane and hexane extracts. The dichloromethane and methanol extracts exhibited excellent antioxidant activity as assessed by 2,2\u2032-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging ability, bleaching<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-carotene, and inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation assays. The essential oil and hexane extract showed comparatively weaker antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. The results of the study have validated the medicinal and antioxidant potential of<jats:italic>M. longifolia<\/jats:italic>essential oil and extracts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2013\/536490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,2]],"date-time":"2013-10-02T17:06:34Z","timestamp":1380733594000},"page":"1-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Antioxidant Activity and Volatile and Phenolic Profiles of Essential Oil and Different Extracts of Wild Mint (<i>Mentha longifolia<\/i>) from the Pakistani Flora"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Tahseen","family":"Iqbal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7862-8859","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Abdullah Ijaz","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shahzad Ali Shahid","family":"Chatha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syed Ali Raza","family":"Naqvi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tanveer Hussain","family":"Bokhari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Chemistry, Government College University Faisalabad, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2007.12.010"},{"issue":"1","key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1080\/10408399209527581","volume":"32","year":"1992","journal-title":"Critical Reviews in Food Science abd Nutrition"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2007.01.019"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jf030723c"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1745-4522.2006.00068.x"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jf020444+"},{"issue":"4","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1070","DOI":"10.1590\/S1517-83822010000400027","volume":"41","year":"2010","journal-title":"Brazilian Journal of Microbiology"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jsfa.4021"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-695X2011005000165"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10496470903139488"},{"key":"10","year":"1976"},{"key":"11","year":"2001"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ffj.1929"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2006.07.051"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12161-011-9325-y"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2004.09.024"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1080\/10412905.2006.9699386","volume":"18","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Essential Oil Research"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2006.10.061"}],"container-title":["Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jamc\/2013\/536490.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jamc\/2013\/536490.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jamc\/2013\/536490.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T19:01:27Z","timestamp":1498071687000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jamc\/2013\/536490\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":18,"alternative-id":["536490","536490"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2013\/536490","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-8865","2090-8873"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-8865","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-8873","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
