Antioxidant property, thymoquinone content and chemical characteristics of different extracts from Nigella sativa L. seeds

Antioxidant property, thymoquinone content and chemical characteristics of different extracts from Nigella sativa L. seeds

In this study, Nigella sativa L. seeds were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) and Soxhlet. Chemical characteristics, fatty acid composition, antioxidant activity and thymoquinone content of N. sativa L. extracts obtained through different methods were investigated and compared. I...
