Volatile constituents of Origanum vulgare ssp. viride (syn. O. heracleoticum) from Iran.
Constituents of the volatile oil of Origanum vulgare ssp. viride growing wild in Kodjour (N. Iran) were studied using TLC, GC, GC/MS, and 1H-NMR methods. The oil was composed of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. The main components of the monoterpene fraction were linalyl acetate, sabinene, gamma-terpinene, trans-ocimene, and cis-ocimene. Low percentages of the phenolic monoterpenoids (thymol and carvacrol) were detected in the oil. The percentage of the identified sesquiterpenoid components was relatively high (44%). The main components of this fraction were beta-caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, germacrene D, and gamma-elemene.
