S u m m a r yLavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a shrub of the family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region. The material used for herbal purposes includes lavender flowers (Lavandula flores) containing essential oil (3%), anthocyanins, phytosterols, sugars, minerals, and tannins. The qualitative and quantitative composition of the essential oil of lavender is variable and depends on genotype, growing location, climatic conditions, propagation, and morphological features. The essential oil contains over 300 chemical compounds. The dominant components are linalool, linalyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol, acetate lavandulol, ocimene, and cineole. Lavender essential oil has good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and a significant positive effect on the digestive and nervous systems. Lavender extract prevents dementia and may inhibit the growth of cancer cells, while lavender hydrolate is recommended for the treatment of skin problems and burns.

“…Among them, linalyl acetate is the most important component which determines the quality of the lavender oil [9]. There are many studies which indicate that L. angustifolia mostly contains linalool and linalyl acetate as essential oil component in essential oil obtained via water vapor distillation of the flowers of L. angustifolia [10,11,12]. Due to linalool and linalyl acetate, both of which are present in the plant, lavender is used in production of perfume, skin cleaning lotion, bath soap with odor and bath foams in the cosmetics industry [13,14,15].…”

Abstract:The content of the extracts obtained from Lavandula angustifolia, which were grown in Burdur Örtülü locality, was determined via HPLC and GC-MS analysis and the anti-microbial effect of the essential oil L. angustifolia was also investigated. The dried flowers of L. angustifolia were extracted and the essential oil was distilled from the remaining part. Various phenolic compounds in the extract were quantitatively determined by HPLC. Quantitatively caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids were the most abundant phenolic acids in the content in decreasing order. 31 different compounds were determined by GC-MS analysis: Linalool and linalyl acetate have the highest concentration. Anti-microbial effects of the essential oil of L. angustifolia were determined against the most frequently encountered microorganisms in the cosmetics: Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Aspergillus brasiliensis. It was observed that the essential oil L. angustifolia could completely remove the contamination caused by the microorganisms as of the 14 th day. According to the results it is concluded that the essential oil of L. angustifolia, can be used either directly or incorporated into the cosmetics without the necessity for any other extra preservative against the above mentioned microrganisms.

“…Lavender is an evergreen perennial, native to the Mediterranean region but is grown in many other countries around the world, including Poland. Lavender contains essential oil, anthocyanins, phytosterols, sugars, minerals, coumaric acid, glycolic acid, valeric acid, ursolic acid, herniarin, coumarin and tannins [9]. The most valuable substance isolated from lavender (L. angustifolia) is essential oil, which is found in oil glands located on the surface of the calyx, in the furrows between fine hairs.…”

A new product from low temperature drying method which reduces the loss of highly volatile essential oils is presented. The proposed drying method consists in evaporation/sublimation of water and aromatic substances in a dryer with a closed drying agent cycle. In parallel, the evaporated compounds are continuously condensed in a heat exchanger. As a result of the drying process high-quality dried plants and fluidolat as liquid phase containing water and volatile organic compounds are obtained. The aim of presented investigations was to optimize the developed technology for herb of lavender.
