Phytochemistry, Antioxidant, and Lipid Peroxidation Inhibition of the Essential Oils ofLavandula OfficinalisL. in Iran

Abstract

The aim of present study was to evaluation the antioxidant potential of Lavandula officinalis on the basis of the chemical compositions of oils obtained by hydrodistillation. In the case of L.officinalis, thirteen compounds were identified representing the 96.53% of the total oil. The major constituents of the oil were described as α-pinene (20.14%), camphor (14.36%), menthol (32.51%) and 1,8-cineole (20.14%). The oils were also subjected to screening for their possible antioxidant activity by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. %). 1,8-Cineole and menthol showed appreciable antioxidant activity in DPPH test. Antioxidant activity guided fractionation of the oil was carried out by The TLC-bioautography screening and fractionation resulted in the separation of the main antioxidant compound which were identified as 1,8-cineole (48%) and menthol (39%).

Essential oil composition, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of wild and cultivated Lavandula mairei Humbert

“…The L. mairei EOs IC 50 value of reducing power ability was only twice a value of quercetin, exhibiting a high reducing power. The degree of antioxidant activity was variable in Lavandula genus; indeed the antioxidant capacity of L. mairei oils accords to what has been reported for other species of the Lavandula genus (Cherrat et al, 2014;Miri, 2015;Mohammedi and Atik, 2011). However, Miliauskasa et al (2004) detected weak antioxidant activity of EO obtained from L. angustiflolia.…”

“…Linalool and linalyl acetate, were determined as the two major compounds of essential oils of Lavandula angustifolia from Greece (Hassiotis et al, 2014). Chemical composition of essential oils from Lavandula officinalis from Iran shown that apinene, menthol and camphor were the main components (Miri, 2015). Ouedrhiri et al (2017) have reported that b-pinene, 1,8cineole and fenchone were the principal compounds of Lavandula dentata from north of Morocco.…”

Potential use of essential oils in cosmetic and dermatological hair products: A review

“…Therefore, the presence of some aromatic substances in the EOs coupled to their particular chemical composition in hair formulations promotes physical, mental, and emotional balance, while adding pleasant odors to fiber and scalp. 28,46…”

Physicochemical properties, chemical components, and antibacterial activity of Melaleuca cajuputi Powell essential oil leaves from Quang Tri Province, Vietnam

“…They are classified as terpene groups and can be found in large amounts in M. cajuputi leaves EO. Many previous studies reported that these compounds have a strong AC [18][19][20]. Essentially, there are no published studies on the AC of M. cajuputi leaves EO in the literature, it was not possible to compare our results.…”
