Abstract

The main object of our study was an investigation of the chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of three Lavandula essential oils (two lavandin oils cv. Grosso and Budrovka, and one lavender cv. Hemus). The oils were produced by hydrodistillation from plant material organically planted in the region of North Macedonia. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique was applied for the identification and quantification of 93 compounds. The main components in all three varieties were linalool and linalyl acetate. The highest amount of linalool was quantified in essential oils in lavandin cv. Budrovka (35.55 %), while the smallest amount was measured in lavender cv. Hemus (21.20 %). The highest amount of linalool acetate was detected in the sample of lavandin cv. Grosso (30.49%). Although there is no relationship between antioxidant activity of lavandin and lavender essential oils measured by DPPH and ABTS radicals, results from antimicrobial activity showed statistically higher antibacterial activity of lavandin essential oils against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922). The strongest antifungal activity against Candida albicans (ATCC 1023) was measured by lavandin essential oil cv. Budrovka.
