Physico-chemical and phytochemical Screening of Lavender Hydrosol and essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia)
Abstract: Lavender is a common and popular aromatic Mediterranean herb belonging to the Lamisceae family. Most research on plants reported that lavender has antibacterial, antifungal and neuroprotective activities. The aim of this research was to study physicochemical and phytochemical screening and microbial activity tests of lavender hydrosol/floral water and lavender essential oil.
Introduction
Lavandula angustifolia was commonly known as lavender, is a species of the genus Lavendula from the Lamiaceae family. Lavender species are grown world-wide primarily for their essential oils, which are used in the food processing, aromatherapy products, cosmetics & perfumes.

Lavender hydrosol contains anhydrous essential oil. The main constituents of lavender are linalol, linalyl acetate, and others.
The plant also contains a high number of tannins up to 12%. Lavender hydrosol contains a high percentage of linalool & linalyl acetate. Lavender hydrosol can be used externally and internally for various purposes.

Taken internally, lavender hydrosol is believed to have a beneficial effect on many health impairments, including anxiety, stress, depression, irritability and other problems.
The aim of our work is to demonstrate the abundance of these plant secondary metabolites and determine their biological properties. To do this, our study includes physicochemical and phytochemical properties. The second part is devoted to an evaluation of the microbial activity test in addition to determining the effectiveness of these compounds.

Description
- Appearance- The lavender hydrosol/floral water is a liquid form similar to water. That is the reason it is soluble in water. And lavender essential oil is in an oil liquid form and does not dissolve in water.
- Colour- The lavender hydrosol is a clean, clear, colourless liquid. And Lavender essential oil is pale yellow to greenish in colour.
- Odour- The odour of a lavender hydrosol is derived from the flowers, leaves and stems. The odour of lavender hydrosol is a sweet herbal/floral scent. And Lavender essential oil has a characteristic aroma resembling lavender. However the aroma changes from season to season with variety in its volatile compounds due to different factors like - temperature, rainfall, soil health etc.
- Solubility- It is soluble in water and alcohol but insoluble in fixed oils. While essential oil is soluble in fat and fixed oils, but insoluble in water.
- pH- A pH of 7 is neutral, above 7 the pH is alkaline and below 7 the pH is acidic.
- Specific Gravity- is used to define the weight of a liquid as compared to density at a specific temperature. If the specific gravity for a lavender hydrosol sample is less than 1, that means the material will flow in the reference substances, and if the water sample is more than 1, that means the material will sink in the reference material.
- Heavy Metals- this test is done to check for irregular levels of toxic or potentially harmful metals. Heavy Metal Limit test is primarily based on the reaction of metallic impurities with hydrogen sulphide or sodium sulphide in an acidic medium to produce metal sulphide which provides brown coloration.
- Microbial Test- is necessary and required by many industries worldwide, where human health is at risk of being adversely affected by disease-causing bacterial & virus, and microbial toxins.
Microbiological analysis of a sample is the use of biological, biochemical, molecular or chemical methods for the identification of microorganisms in a sample.
Observations of Phytochemical Tests
1. Tannin
Black/bluish or green coloration was observed, which shows the presence of tannins.
2. Flavonoids
Reddish colour was observed, which is an indication of presence of flavonoid.
3. Saponins
The pristent froth appearance was an indication of saponin.
4. Terpenoids
The red colour appearance was observed, which is an indication of presence of terpenoids.
5. Cardiac Glycosides
Brown ring was formed which is an indication of the presence of cardiac glycosides.
6. Alkaloids
There is no formation of cream or white precipitate, which shows the presence of the alkaloids.
Observation For Lavender Essential Oil
1. Coumarin
No, formation of yellow colour in a sample, which does not show the presence of coumarin.
2. Tannin
No, formation of green black colour in a sample, which does not show the presence of tannin.
3. Flavonoid
Slightly formation of red brown colour in a sample, shows the presence of flavonoid.
4. Unsaturated Fatty Acid
Formation of clear colourless liquid shows the presence of unsaturated fatty acid.
5. Saturated Fatty Acid
No, formation of brown colour, which does not show the presence of saturated fatty acid.
Conclusion
Lavender is among the aromatic and medicinal plants widely used in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields.
To make good use of this natural substance, we will use a quantitative estimate of these metabolites for the next component.
