Abstract
The essential oils (EOs) of medicinal and aromatic plants have been huge scientific interests for their biological properties, we use them in various applications such as medicine, pharmacy, culinary, cosmetics, biocides, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The objectives of this minireview were to identify the bioactive molecules of Rosmarinus Officinalis essential oil from different regions of the world such as Morocco, Italy and France. These EOs have been extracted by the method of steam distillation and its chemical compositions were determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (GC/FID). These comparative studies of this plant show its richness in terms of chemo-types such as 1.8-cineole, α-pinene, β-pinene, camphor, caryophyllene and D-limonene. Which open a diverse application uses specially as an antioxidant, antimicrobial and an environmentally friendly green pesticide.
