Through the results obtained, it appears that the leaves and fruits are rich in substances with a high antioxidant power. The yield of the phenolic compounds obtained from 10g to powder of plant is for leaves 116.49 % and 61.34 % for fruit . For essential oils, it is 0.253 ± 0.131 % for 100 g of plant material. The chromatographic profile of the essential oil of Pistacia lentiscus L. shows that monoterpenes are the major compound (9.675 % of identified molecules). The strong antioxidant activity of extracts obtained only confirms the traditional use of this plant by the local population.frchromatographic profile ; monoterpenes , secondary metabolites ; Boumerdes.Article
