Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) fam. Lamiaceae is a cultivated plant in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The aim of present work is study on chemical composition, physicochemical and thermodynamic properties of lavender essential oil from Bulgaria. The main essential oil constituents are linalyl acetate (26.19%), β-linalool (21.39%), β-caryophyllene (6.80%), (Z)-β-ocimene (6.78%), terpinen-4-ol (5.01%), lavandulol acetate (4.39%), (E)-β-ocimene (3.02%), (E)-β-farnesene (2.73%), 1-octen-3-yl-acetate (2.65%), and α-terpineol (2.36%). Physicochemical (refractive index and relative density), thermodynamic (Gibbs energy, enthalpy, entropy, and activation energy) and thermal properties (heat capacity, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, dynamic, and kinematic viscosity) of lavender essential oil and its main components are investigated.
