LAVENDER EXTRACT WITH TETRAFLOUROETHANE - CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY AND APPLICATION IN COSMETICS

The chemical composition of extract from lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) by extraction with tetrafluoroethane was analyzed using GC and GC/MS. The main compounds (concentration higher than 3%) of extract were: linalool (32.48%), linalyl acetate (22.98%), borneol (5.12%), cis-linaloloxide (4.49%), (E)-β-farnesene (4.10%), lavandulol (4.22%) and β-caryophyllene (3.34%). The extract is used in model cosmetic emulsions O/W type. The studied extract demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.The chemical composition of extract from lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) by extraction with tetrafluoroethane was analyzed using GC and GC/MS.
