Postharvest losses of essential oil of lavender flowers
Original language description
The amount of the essential oil (EO) produced from lavender and other aromatic plants depend on many factors and a lot of them were already seriously published in literature. However, only a few works have studied the course of the EO losses during the storage of the dry plant material before EO yield analysis. The aim of this study was to analyse the EO content changes of two Czech Lavandula angustifolia Mill. varieties, "Krajová" and "Beta", in the period between the harvesting and chemical analysis. An eight-year experiment proved that during the long-term storage of dried lavender flowers a gradual reduction in the total content of EO occurs at a rate of about 0.007% per day, which means about 2.56% per year.
