Abstract

The essential oil was obtained from the seeds of Garcina kola and its compositions were investigated by GC-MS and ICP-MS, respectively. 74 organic compounds and 9 trace elements beneficial to human health were confirmed in this oil. Then, the in vitro antioxidant and anticancer activities were evaluated accordingly. The results showed that this essential oil exhibited stronger antioxidant activity against DPPH⸱ with the scavenging rate of 94.19% at 0.2 mg/mL, as well as potent inhibition against gastric cancer, lung cancer(A549) and Hela cell lines with the inhibitions of 96.397%±0.929, 98.005%±0.513 and 94.77±2.09 respectively at 8.3 mg/mL. While it exhibited moderate inhibition against the human breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7) with the inhibition of 59.257%±4.544 at 8.3mg/mL. In consideration of Garcina kola being consumed in Nigeria for a long time, this essential oil obtained from the Garcina kola can be used in the field of food, cosmetic or drugs.
