Abstract :Cold-pressed oils have attracted great interest due to their high content of bioactive compounds and potential health benefits. This study aims to determine the total phenolic acid content and anti-atherogenic activity of cold-pressed wild arugula (Eruca sativa L.) oil. Total phenolic acid content was analyzed using spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods, while anti-atherogenic activity was evaluated by in vitro tests measuring antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation inhibition. The results show that Eruca sativa L. oil contains significant amounts of phenolic acids, which contribute to its antioxidant potential. Furthermore, the oil exhibited promising anti-atherogenic activity, suggesting its potential role in cardiovascular health. These findings highlight the importance of cold-pressed wild arugula oil as a functional food ingredient with potential therapeutic applications.
