Abstract
The genus of Lonicera is the largest genus of Caprifoliaceae family. This study revealed the composition, antioxidant, and antibacterial actions of essential oils of Lonicera caprifolium L. in different areas of Iran; Qom, Mashhad, Shiraz. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry examination was applied to recognise the oil conformation. The essential oils of Qom included a high number of monoterpenes, with linalool as the significant constituent. In the essential oil of Mashhad, the main elements were methyl linoleate. The essential oil of Shiraz displayed a similar profile, including a large quantity of fatty acid, with methyl palmitate as the main component. The antioxidant activity was assessed via the DPPH exam, and the antimicrobial action was verified using the broth microdilution procedure. The essential oils of Qom revealed the maximum antimicrobial and antioxidant actions between the three regions, ascribed to its high concentration of monoterpenes and phenolic composites. Moreover, principal component analysis (PCA) and heat map successfully revealed the variation and correlation between metabolites of the three oils. These conclusions highlight the potential of L. caprifolium as natural foundations of antimicrobial and antioxidant representatives, with investigation required to reveal their therapeutic requests.
