Abstract


Essential oils have been identified for their vital relevance and uses in many areas, ranging from pharmaceutical, medicinal, food flavouring, and preservation. Essential oils’ potency and viability for various applications are attributed to the constituent bioactive compounds, which constitute their active agents. Essential oils are mainly isolated and recovered from plant substrates by adopting different extraction methods. This study extracts the essential oil from Hyptis suaveolens leaves using the Cleventure apparatus. The oil extracted was analysed for antioxidant activity and subjected to GC-MS analysis. The results indicated the antioxidant power of essential oil, and the compounds identified through GC-MS analysis were reported to contain numerous biological activities
