Nowadays food industry, investigating bioactivity of different plant extracts and essential oils as natural additives and quality enhancers plays a great role for responding to food related health issues and the need of safe products with improved overall quality according to consumer’s diverse taste. In present study, chemical composition along with the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of the coriander essential oil were investigated. According to the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) outputs, Linalool identified as the major component (52.40%) in the essential oil. Total phenol and flavonoid estimated about 75.60 mg GAE/g and 715.33 mg QE/g essential oil while antioxidant capacity of the substance evaluated and showed that unlike ABTS assay, essential oil in DPPH assay reached a higher level of radical scavenging slightly more than %50 (%51.95) at same concentration of 1000 ppm. The smallest and largest diameters of inhibition zones at disk diffusion agar method belonged to Shigella dysenteriae (14.10 mm) and Bacillus cereus (24 mm). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus estimated 4, 8, 4, 2, 2 and 2 mg/mL while minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) 256, 512, 256, 256, 128, 128 mg/mL respectively. Based on the overall results, coriander seed essential oil at certain concentrations could have a high potential as a safe food additive and a strong preservative for application in the industry.
