Abstract:

A method based on distillation extraction followed by GC-MS coupled to GC-olfactometry was presented for the analysis of volatile compounds of essential oil from Origanum vulgare L. Thirty-five compounds were identified, accounting for 97.50% of total peak area, and consisted of 22 hydrocarbons (60.66%), 6 ketones (26.56%), 2 esters (0.64%), 2 phenols (9.18%), 2 alcohols (0.44%) and 1 aldehyde (0.02%). All these results can provide valuable and scientific information for the development and utilization of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil.

Key words: essential oil from Origanum vulagare L., GC-MS, GC-O, volatile compounds
