The fatty acid, sterol, and tocol compositions, mineral, total phenolic, and flavonoid contents, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Salvia longipedicellata Hedge (endemic) mericarps were examined for the first time. Mericarps were rich in α-linolenic acid (47.72%), β-sitosterol (54.46%), γ-tocopherol (375.68 mg/kg), and potassium (75.411 μg/g). Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were 1.04 μg GAE/mg extract and 0.32 μg QE/mg extract, respectively. The antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of mericarps were also determined.
