Essential Oil Chemical Composition of Wild Populations of Italian Oregano Spice (Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum (Link) Ietswaart): A Preliminary Evaluation of Their Use in Chemotaxonomy by Cluster Analysis. 1. Inflorescences
Abstract
Twenty-four steam-distilled samples of essential oils from inflorescences from Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum (Link) Ietswaart growing wild in Calabria, southern Italy, were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A total of 56 compounds were identified. The main components of the essential oil were thymol and carvacrol, while their biogenetic precursors, p -cymene and γ-terpinene, were the most aboundant monoterpenes. The relative amounts of the two main constituents were comparable to the literature data on this species. Four chemotypes were identified in Calabria on the basis of the phenolic content, i.e., thymol, carvacrol, thymol/carvacrol, and carvacrol/thymol chemotypes. The first chemotype was the most frequent. A significant variability of composition possibly correlated with the individual genotypes was observed. Keywords: Oregano; Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum; essential oil composition; GC/MS

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
