Effect of spice principles on scavenging of superoxide anion has been investigated. The superoxide anions, as measured by nitrobluetetrazolium (NBT) reduction in xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, were inhibited by superoxide dismutase, spice principles eugenol (cloves) and cuminaldehyde (cumin), antioxidants, butylated hydroxy

1. The metabolism of (+)-citronellal, (+-)-7-hydroxycitronellal, citral, (-)-perillaldehyde, (-)-myrtenal, cuminaldehyde, thujone, and (+-)-carvone was studied in rabbits. 2. In (+-)-7-hydroxycitronellal, (-)-perillaldehyde, (-)-myrtenal and cuminaldehydes, both primary alcohols and carboxylic acids were formed. 3. In (-)-citronellal and citral, regioselective oxidation was
