The essential oil of Rhaponticum acaule (RaEO) is a promising source of antioxidant compounds, according to a recent study in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Researchers from the University of Monastir and the National School of Engineers of Sfax in Tunisia evaluated whether RaEO can inhibit ?-glucosidase, xanthine oxidase, and pancreatic lipase using multiple in vitro assays.
The findings suggest that RaEO holds promise as a potential source of antioxidants, which can benefit human health.
