The antioxidant activity and free radical scavenging capacity of the essential oil and three different extracts of wildly grown  Mentha longifolia  ( M. longifolia ) were studied. The essential oil from  M. longifolia  aerial parts was isolated by hydrodistillation technique using Clevenger-type apparatus. The extracts were prepared with three solvents of different polarity ( n -hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol) using Soxhlet extractor. Maximum extract yield was obtained with methanol (12.6 g/100 g) while the minimum with dichloromethane (3.50 g/100 g). The essential oil content was found to be 1.07 g/100 g. A total of 19 constituents were identified in the  M. longifolia  oil using GC/MS. The main components detected were piperitenone oxide, piperitenone, germacrene D, borneol, and   β  -caryophyllene. The total phenolics (TP) and total flavonoids (TF) contents of the methanol extract of  M. longifolia  were found to be significantly higher than dichloromethane and hexane extracts. The dichloromethane and methanol extracts exhibited excellent antioxidant activity as assessed by 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging ability, bleaching   β  -carotene, and inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation assays. The essential oil and hexane extract showed comparatively weaker antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities. The results of the study have validated the medicinal and antioxidant potential of  M. longifolia  essential oil and extracts.
