There is a great variability of the compounds presented in the three tested essential oils. Bush-basil EO
had the highest total phenolic content (794.9 mg GAE/L) while coriander EO had the lower total phenolic
content (52.3 mg GAE/L). Since bush-basil had the highest TPC it was expected to present a very high
antioxidant profile, which was verified in 3 of the 4 assays (DPPH inhibition of 95.9%; FRAP values of
2.7 mmol Trolox/L; TBARS inhibition of 87.2%); coriander, despite the low TPC showed the highest inhibition
in the FIC assay (94.1%).
