“…They are natural volatile compounds that can be used as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiradical, and flavoring agent (Bylaite, Nylander, Venskutonis, & Jönsson, ; Khorshidian, Yousefi, Khanniri, & Mortazavian, ; Kouri, Tsimogiannis, Bardouki, & Oreopoulou, ; Mith et al, ; Salvia‐Trujillo & McClements, ; Synowiec & Drozdek, ). Oregano oil is an essential oil derived from the Origanum compactum plant, a member of the mint family (Almeida et al, ; Ouedrhiri et al, ). In the present study, we chose oregano essential oil owing to its powerful antibacterial (Kang & Song, ), antifungal (Bouchra, Achouri, Idrissi Hassani, & Hmamouchi, ), antiparasite, and antiviral (Schuetz, ) capabilities, as well as to the challenging conditions to formulate stable oil‐in‐water emulsions.…”

There is an increased interest for essential oil nanoemulsions as natural food preservatives. We utilized sugar‐based surfactants including Quillaja Saponin (QS), Sucrose Monopalmitate (SMP), and Octyl Modified Starch (OMS). The outcomes presented that nanoemulsions could be successfully formed. Whereas oregano emulsions stabilized by SMP exposed to salt and acidic pH were highly unstable, QS could form more stable colloidal systems. Oregano nanoemulsions containing a very low amount of sunflower oil (SO) were not susceptible to Ostwald ripening during 60 days of storage at 20 °C. The optimization of the production process through response surface methodology revealed that incorporation of only 6.9 wt % SO at a microfluidization pressure of 73.5 MPa was sufficient to form a long‐term stable nanoemulsion with no changes in antibacterial activity. This work gives valuable and practical information to produce a natural antimicrobial agent potentially applicable in food and beverage, as well as cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Practical applications Recently, there has been a great demand by not only food consumers but also manufacturers for products containing natural ingredients. In this study, a promising nanoemulsion delivery system for oregano as an essential oil model with long‐term stability using a biosurfactant (Quillaja Saponin) was successfully produced by microfluidization. We optimized the formulation in terms of energy requirement and costs, which are important factors from an industry point of view. The fabricated colloidal dispersions have antimicrobial as well as flavoring and potential antioxidant applications in different products including food and beverages, as well as pharmaceutical and beauty products.

“…Origanum compactum essential oils (EOs) are characterized by a high amount of phenolic monoterpenes, primarly carvacrol and thymol, [ ][ ][ ][ ] which are responsible for their antibacterial, [ ][ ] antifungal, antioxidant, [ ][ ] and insecticidal properties. The diversity of biological activities of O. compactum EOs appeared to be a consequence of their chemical polymorphism.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of environmental factors on essential oils (EOs) composition of Origanum compactum populations sampled all over the distribution area of the species in Morocco, and to determine the extent of the chemical profiles throughout the geographical distribution of the species. The chemical compositions were submitted to canonical correlation analysis and canonical discriminant analysis that indicated a significant relationship between oil components and some environmental factors. According to their chemical composition and edapho-climatic characteristics, two major groups of populations were differentiated. The first group was composed of samples growing in regions with humid climate, clayey, sandy, and alkaline soils. These samples showed high thymol, α-terpineol, linalool, and carvacryl methyl oxide content. The second group consisted of plants belonging to semi-arid climate, and growing at high altitudes and silty soils. These samples were characterized by high carvacrol, α-thujene, α-terpinene, and myrcene content. However, populations exposed to sub-humid climate, appeared less homogeneous and belong mainly either to the first or second group. A significant correlation between some edaphic factors (pH, K O content, soil texture) and the EOs yield of O. compactum plants was evidenced. In spite of the correlation obtained for the oil composition with edapho-climatic factors and the variance explained by the environmental data set, the observed EO diversity might be also genetically determined.

“…O. compactum has proved its candidacy in the inhibition of bacteria pathogenic strains including those which resist to antibiotics [50]. Several accumulative studies (Table 3) have revealed the antibacterial activity of O. compactum extracts and essential oils [8,10,50,56,61,62]. Indeed, essential oils inhibited the growth of Gram-negative bacteria nd: Not determined.…”

“…Oregano is an endemic Moroccan medicinal plant which has widely been used by Moroccan population for its culinary and medicinal properties since antiquity [5,6]. Today, several studies have been conducted through Morocco areas for screening of pharmacological properties of O. compactum essential oils and extracts [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Therefore, this review presents an overview of the results found about phytochemical and pharmacological applications of O. compactum and its main compounds.…”
