Chemical Composition of Essential Oil ofOriganum vulgaressp.viridefrom Iran

Abstract

In present work, the chemical composition of essential oil from aerial parts of Origanum vulgare ssp. viride was identified using a GC-MS system. The plants were collected at bloom stage from their natural habitat in Behshahr region located in Mazandaran province. 26 detected components accounted for 98.9 percent of the essential oil composition. The essential oil was found to be rich in thymol (29.9 %),γ terpinene (13.0 %) and β-pinene (11.3 %), followed by 3-octanone (9.2 %), carvacrol (5.2 %), sabinene (5.0 %) and α-pinene (4.5 %). According to the GC-MS results, the monoterpenes were the most predominant fraction of the essential oil in our study.

Oregano (Origanum vulgar subsp. viride) Essential Oil: Extraction, Preparation, Characterization, and Encapsulation by Chitosan-Carbomer Nanoparticles for Biomedical Application

“…Also, thymol (29.9%), γ-terpinene (13.0%), β-pinene (11.3%), 3-octanone (9.2%), carvacrol (5.2%), sabinene (5.0%), and α-pinene (4.5%) were introduced as the main compounds of Origanum vulgare subsp. viride (17). In another study, thymol (28% -32%), 4-terpineol (10% -12%), and α-terpinene (7.5% -10%) were determined as the most frequent compounds (14) that the saturation of the OEO loading solution may result in a decrease in the encapsulation efficiency of chitosan nanoparticles.…”

“…Polysaccharide compounds, including hydrogel and chitosan, are generally used for developing nanoparticles for drug delivery in medical and pharmaceutical fields, as well as in the form of pesticides and fertilizers in agriculture (1,13). Many studies have been conducted to analyze plant EO components and develop appropriate formulations using nanoparticle technologies for increasing the effectiveness of EOs for in vivo applications (1,3,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). The encapsulation of Mentha piperita EOs in chitosan-cinnamic acid nanogel could affect stability and enhance antifungal activity of EOs against Aspergillus flavus (15).…”
