Abstract: The compare the main chemical components of both essential oils obtained by distilling on water and in water was analyzed and identified by GC-MS. The main components and contents of essential oils abstracted in two ways from lavender have large distinctive. This experiment identified twenty components in all, in which six compounds exist in both ways and theirrelative percentage is 63.03%,75.57%respectively. That may be the main reason of the distinctness between essential oils of the total antioxidative capacity.
