This review article is the first in a series that provides an overview of the biology, chemistry, biological effects, and applications of (lavandin, LI). Despite its prevalence in cultivation and on the essential oil market, lavandin has received limited attention from the scientific community. Remarkably more attention is paid to (LA), which is commonly regarded as the superior lavender and has been extensively researched. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive review of LI, as none currently exists, and assess whether its inferior status is merited. In the first part, we outline the biological and chemical characteristics of the plant and compare it to the parent species. The chemical composition of lavandin oil is similar to that of LA but contains more terpenes, giving camphor notes that are less valued in perfumery. Nevertheless, lavandin has some advantages, including a higher essential oil yield, resulting in reduced production cost, and therefore, it is a preferred lavender crop for cultivation.
这篇综述文章是一系列文章中的第一篇，旨在概述 （薰衣草，LI）的生物学、化学、生物效应和应用。尽管它在种植和精油市场上很普遍，但薰衣草受到科学界的关注有限。更值得注意的是， （LA），它通常被认为是更好的薰衣草，并且已经被广泛研究。我们的目标是提供对 LI 的全面综述，因为目前还没有这样的综述，并且评估它是否值得这种较低的地位。在第一部分中，我们概述了植物的生物学和化学特性，并将其与亲本物种进行了比较。薰衣草油的化学成分与 LA 相似，但含有更多的萜烯，因此在香水制造中樟脑的气味不太受欢迎。然而，薰衣草有一些优势，包括更高的精油产量，从而降低了生产成本，因此它是一种更受欢迎的薰衣草作物。
