The present invention relates to an antioxidant composition using Litsea japonica oil and, more specifically, to an antioxidant composition including an essential oil component obtained from the fruits of Litsea japonica. According to the present invention, an essential oil component used as an active ingredient of a composition having an antioxidant effect is obtained from the fruits (pure fruits, seed fruits, or seeds) of Litsea japonica, and it has been verified that the essential oil component has an antioxidant effect by measuring a total phenol content and evaluating DPPH radical scavenging activity with respect to the essential oil component. Therefore, the essential oil component obtained from the fruits (pure fruits, seed fruits, or seeds) of Litsea japonica can be practically used for a composition exhibiting an antioxidant effect. |
