Abstract

The goal of this study was to investigate the essential oil compositions of different parts (stem, leaf, flower and mixture) of Lavandula x intermedia in Bismil-Diyarbakır,Turkey. The chemical composition of essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation from fresh Lavandin samples were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results indicate the major components of the studied parts of lavandin was; linalool (24.97-2.52-43.86-39.43 %), linalyl acetate (3.,4-0.29-9.37-15.76 %), eucalyptol (33.81-43.81-18.47-12.08 %), camphor (13.12-15.91-8.72-9.21 %), endo-borneol (2.03-5.18-0.68-1.24 %) and alpha-terpineol (2.84-2.47-1.28-3.86 %) in essential oils of stem, leaf, flower and mixture parts of fresh lavandin respectively. It was understood that linalool and linalyl acetate level were the highest in flower and mix parts while eucalyptol, camphor and endo-borneol levels were the highest in stem and leaf parts of the plant.
