The results showed that the content of alpha-linolenic acid in peony seed oil and peony seed blending oil was 43.12% and 29.99%, respectively. The scavenging capacity of DPPH free radical, the scavenging capacity of ABTS, the reducing capacity of Fe2+ and the scavenging capacity of -OH free radical of peony seed oil were stronger than that of peony seed blending oil, which were 1.29, 1.51, 3.62 and 1.44 times, respectively. It indicated that peony seed oil has stronger antioxidant ability. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2020.05.020
