The aim of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant efficacy of extracts obtained from six Pinus species ( P. pinea , P. brutia , P. radiata , P. halepensis , P. attenuata , P. nigra ) growing in natural forests in Southern Greece. Specimens of fresh, dry needles and pine bark were extracted and fractionated with a variety of organic solvents and the efficient concentration and their radical scavenging activity was evaluated by the Co(II)/EDTA induced luminol plateau chemiluminescence assay.
