Abstract

The
volatile components of Origanum majorana L. essential oil obtained from both
clevenger and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) were determined by GC–MS and
GC-FID. Extraction of these biologically active compounds requires the usage of
large amounts of environmentally unfriendly solvents and technologies operating
with high costs. Supercritical fluid extraction is an environmentally friendly
and efficient extraction technique for solid materials, being extensively
studied for the separation of active compounds from herbs and other plants. The
essential oil obtained by SFE contains mainly carvacrol (76.69% with GC-MS and
91.95% with GC-FID) which are responsible for the characteristic flavour and
fragrance of marjoram oil. And also to compare with SFE, the essential oil
obtained by Clevenger contains mainly carvacrol (70.47% with GC-MS and 89.00%
with GC-FID). It can be concluded that almost all the biologically active
compounds from marjoram herb can be efficiently extracted by SFE.
