摘要:The importance of lavender as a source of essential oils has been well recognized.
This study reports the phytochemical profile of lavender extract in terms of
chlorophylls, total carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids, related to antioxidant
activity. The extract displayed a high polyphenolic and flavonoids content, with an
antioxidant activity of 2.28±0.18 mMol Trolox/g D.W. The fractional conversion
and first order kinetic models were found suitable for predicting the changes that
occur in the selected phytochemicals. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters
were calculated confirming the irreversible degradation of phytochemicals. Both
the temperature and duration of heating significantly impacted the content in
bioactive compounds.
