Spearmint has been described as having excellent antioxidant activity comparable to BHT [30]. Due to both its antioxidant activity and its common use to season lamb in South Asian cuisine, it has been studied as an additive to radiation-processed lamb meat and was found effective in delaying oxidation of fats and reducing the formation of harmful substances, which can be detected using thiobarbituric acid as a reagent [30].:

Spearmint oil also contains significant amounts of limonene, dihydro carvone, and 1,8-cineol [25]. Spearmint has a flavor and pungent taste due to the high content of essential oils like carvone [47]. Carvone, a phenolic compound, is the main constituent found in spearmint oil, followed by limonene [20,28]. Carvone is reported to be potential in inhibiting bacterial growth, as well as to act as fungicide and insect repellent.:
El texto menciona que el carvone, un componente principal del aceite de spearmint, tiene potencial para inhibir el crecimiento bacteriano y actuar como fungicida e insecticida.
The biological activities of spearmint also include anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and sedative [31:
