With a widespread distribution throughout the Northern Hemisphere and 11 genera, Pinaceae is the largest family of in the world. Essential oils are an important chemotaxonomic marker for the species of this family, although the degree of chemical and biological investigation has not been the same for all genera. Essential oils from and (from the abietoid clade) or and (from the pinoid clade) have been more extensively investigated with respect to their chemical composition and biological or pharmacological properties, including their antioxidant effects. Instead, essential oils from the other genera of the family have been less explored in this respect or even have not been investigated at all. This is a narrative review looking into the knowledge acquired up to date, the variability and limitations of the current methods used to estimate antioxidant effects, and multiple comparisons between EOs obtained from different genera, species, and plant parts, as well as potential applications and future directions of research and utilization of essential oils derived from Pinaceae species.
松科植物广泛分布于北半球，包含11个属，是世界上最大的科。精油是该科植物物种重要的化学分类学标记，尽管对所有属的化学和生物学研究程度不尽相同。来自冷杉类分支的银杉属和云杉属或松类分支的松属和黄杉属的精油，在其化学成分、生物学或药理学特性（包括抗氧化作用）方面得到了更广泛的研究。相反，该科其他属的精油在这方面的研究较少，甚至根本没有研究。这是一篇叙述性综述，探讨了迄今为止所获得的知识、用于评估抗氧化作用的当前方法的变异性和局限性，以及从不同属、种和植物部位获得的精油之间的多重比较，以及松科植物精油的潜在应用和未来研究及利用方向。
