Abstract: This study focuses on extraction of essential oils from Iraqi seeds of Coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum L.). The yield of essential oils was 2 % (V: W) of seed, analyzed by the GC- mass technique. The essential oil contained 35 varieties of compounds, with Linalool (59.14 %) compound prevailing in the essential oils extract. The essential oils of Coriander have antibacterial activity against G + and G- bacteria. Leuconostoc mesenteroides had the most inhibition while E. coli ATCC 25922 had the lowest inhibition after the addition of essential oils concentrations. After the end storage period which is 25 days, peroxide values and fatty acids % of fat milk samples were decreased when increase the concentrations of essential oil added compared with the BHA sample
