ABSTRACT
The present study was
conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of
essential oils of Ocimum
basilicum var. album (L.) Benth, Lavandula
angustifolia subsp.
angustifolia, Melissa officinalis. The chemical composition of a
hydrodistilled essential oils of Ocimum
basilicum var. album (L.) Benth., Lavandula angustifolia subsp. angustifolia, Melissa officinalis was analyzed by a
GC/MS system. Ocimum basilicum var. album (L.) Benth essential oil
contains 1,6-octadien-3-ol,3,7-dimethyl (53.79%), Lavandula angustifolia subsp. angustifolia
essential oil 1,6-octadien-3-ol,3,7-dimethyl (42.07%), Melissa officinalis essential oil
d-limonene (26%). Antimicrobial screening of the essential oils was made by
disc diffusion. The
antimicrobial test results showed that the Ocimum
basilicum var. album (L.) Benth, Melissa officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia subsp. angustifolia
essential oils have great potential of antimicrobial activity against all three
(Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6338) Gram positive, Escherichia coli (ATCC
10536), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) Gram negative bacteria), one fungi (Aspergillus niger), one yeast (Candida
albicans) species tested.
KEYWORDS
