Abstract

Amount of the essential oil of the Origanum vulgare L. (Lamiaceae Lindl.) is In the phase of blossoming essential oil was obtained from the fresh mass 0,07-0,2% 1,4-2% and dry mass 0,2-0,7% of its surface part, light refraction rate is nD20-1.4980, D2020- 0,964, Acid number is 0,8-1,28; essence number is 7,6; after acetillation essense number became 54,88. The main components of oil are: timol – about 2,2-6,7%, bisyclic sesquiterpens – 12,5%, free spirits – 12,8-15,4%, heranilacetat – 2,63% and other substances. Antimicrobial properties of the essential oils of the species O.vulgare have been studied as well as it was ascertained that essaential oils of the can be used as antifungal means.
