Abstract
The essential oil of Origanum dictamnus L. was obtained by steam distillation with a yield of 0.8% of dry material. The oil
was investigated after fractionation on a silica gel column and separation of phenols,
by combination of GLC-mass spectrometry. In the analysis, 30 components were found
accounting for 98.28% of the oil, the predominating compounds being carvacrol; γ-terpinene,
p-cymene, caryophyllene, borneol, terpin-1-en-4-ol, and carvacrol methyl ether.
