In this study, researchers from Italy and Kosovo investigated the chemical composition and biological activities of essential oils derived from Pinus heldreichii (Bosnian pine), P. peuce (Macedonian pine), P. mugo (mountain pine), P. nigra (Austrian pine) and P. sylvestris (Scots pine). Their findings were published in the Journal of Essential Oil Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the essential oils of different pine species are rich in beneficial phytonutrients. Their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities appear to be regulated by reciprocal interactions among the different subclasses of phytochemicals they contain.
