Abstract

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia, Lamiaceae) is the most popular aromatic plant globally and its essential oil (EO) has various cosmetic and therapeutic industrial applications. This study aimed to understand and compare the EO compositions of L. angustifolia grown in two different geographically remote locations (Seorak Mountain and Jiri Mountain) in Korea. The EO yields from the aboveground parts of lavender at the flowering stage were 0.04 ± 0.01% (Mt. Seorak) and 1.20 ± 0.38% (Mt. Jiri), while the EO colors were orange (Mt. Seorak) and pale yellow (Mt. Jiri). In total, 44 compounds were identified in the steam-distilled EOs of L. angustifolia cultivated in Mt. Seorak (35 compounds) and Mt. Jiri (30 compounds) using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis. Among these, 21 compounds were detected in the EOs of both Seorak and Jiri samples, with linalool and linalyl formate being the most abundant compounds. Particularly, the amounts of linalool (46.15 ± 0.09%) and linalyl formate (39.81 ± 0.15%) were higher in the EOs isolated from the Jiri sample than in the EOs isolated from the Seorak sample (28.72 ± 0.35% and 27.53 ± 0.42%, respectively). Further, considerable amounts of β-caryophyllene and isoborneol were found in the EOs of both samples. High levels of linalool and linalyl formate in the EO may be associated with the pleasant aroma and high quality of lavender.
