Abstract
In this study, the chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the volatile oil of aerial parts Galanthus ikariae Baker plant were investigated. The essential oil was obtained by Clevenger type hydrodistillation and analysed by GC-MS/FID. The structures of 41 compounds in essential oil were compared with the literature information. Hexadecanoic acid, linoleic acid, 2-tridecanone and linoleic acid methyl ester compounds were the main components and found as 19.05%; 14.67%; 11.49% and 6.97%, respectively. The amount of total phenolic and, %DPPH˙ scavenging activity were found as 342.22 mg/mL GAE and %55.92, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of essential oil was investigated against twelve bacteria and 5 fungi, by using agar dilution method. Essential oil was effective against Listeria monocytogenes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, especially.
