This study\u2019s aims were to determine the chemical composition and the antioxidant properties of the essential oil of Pastianica sylvestris. The essential oil was isolated with a yield of 0.41% (w\/v) by steam distillation from the dried seeds and subsequently analysed by GC-MS. Octyl acetate (78.49%) and octyl hexanoate (6.68%) were the main components. The essential oil exhibited an excellent activity for the inhibition of primary and secondary oxidation products for cold-pressed sunflower oil comparable with butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which were evaluated using peroxide and thiobarbituric acid values. The antioxidant activity of the essential oil was additionally validated using DPPH radical scavenging (0.0016 \u00b1 0.0885 mg\/mL), and \u03b2-carotene-linoleic acid bleaching assays. Also, the amounts of total phenol components (0.0053 \u00b1 0.0023 mg GAE\/g) were determined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules25040869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,26]],"date-time":"2020-02-26T05:44:12Z","timestamp":1582695852000},"page":"869","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Antioxidant Activity of Pastinaca sativa L. ssp. sylvestris [Mill.] Rouy and Camus Essential Oil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0414-3805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u0103lin","family":"Jianu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Food Engineering, Banat\u2019s University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine \u201cKing Michael I of Romania\u201d from Timisoara, Calea Aradului 119, RO-300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ionu\u021b","family":"Gole\u021b","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, West University of Timi\u0219oara, 300233 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Stoin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Food Engineering, Banat\u2019s University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine \u201cKing Michael I of Romania\u201d from Timisoara, Calea Aradului 119, RO-300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7621-402X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ileana","family":"Cocan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Food Engineering, Banat\u2019s University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine \u201cKing Michael I of Romania\u201d from Timisoara, Calea Aradului 119, RO-300645 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5855-2276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandra Teodora","family":"Lukinich-Gruia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"OncoGen Centre, County Hospital \"Pius Branzeu\", Blvd. Liviu Rebreanu 156, RO-300736 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"820","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jff.2015.06.018","article-title":"Phenolics and polyphenolics in foods, beverages and spices: Antioxidant activity and health effects\u2013A review","volume":"18","author":"Shahidi","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
