Abstract

The aim of present study to analyze the essential oil components of whole plant of Origanum vulgare Linn. (Lamiaceae) by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation method from the whole plant of O. vulgare and analyzed by GC and GC-MS method. The individual constituents were identified by GC and GC-MS analysis by comparison with spectrometer database of NBS 54 K.L, WILEY8 libraries and published literature. The yield of the essential oil was 0.45 % (v/w). Sixty-seven compounds representing 99.03 % of the oil were characterized. The volatile oil was found rich in monoterpenes (69 %) and sesquiterpenes (23.42 %). Carvacrol acetate (66.01 %) was predominant in monoterpenes identified in essential oil of O. vulgare. Diterpenes and aliphatic components are also present in essential oil of Oregano in lesser quantity. The current study investigated the composition of essential oil of O. vulgare for making foundation for quality control and clinical treatments.
