Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2016, Vol 39, Issue 328
Abstract
Lavender is mainly used in medicine, cosmetics industry, aromatherapy, perfume industry and as a culinary herb. It is most often grown for the purpose of obtaining essential oils characterized by a pleasant fragrance as well as antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties. The present paper is an overview of information on essential oils obtained from plant tissue of the Lavandula genus, including the methods of extraction, chemical composition and potential use. The chemical composition of plant oil is determined by various parameters such as environmental conditions, growing season, harvest time, methods of drying and storing until the time of oil extraction, method of oil isolation as well as the specific conditions of the analysis (column, set temperature) used to identify the compounds.
