Resumen: Se analizó químicamente el aceite esencial de orégano (Origanum vulgare spp.) cultivado en la ciudad de Tacna (Perú). El análisis fisicoquímico determinó las siguientes características: color (L* 60,51, a* -2,83, b* 14,31), índice de refracción de 1,475; densidad específica de 0,9132, y solubilidad en alcohol de 75 ml. Asimismo, la composición química se evaluó mediante cromatografía de gases, acoplada a espectrometría de masas. El cromatograma mostró los siguientes porcentajes: l-4 terpineol, 26,56; timol, 18,80; g-terpineno, 11,77; 2-careno, 6,53; terpineol, 4,08; m-cimeno, 3,27; y carvacrol, 2,24, entre otros presentes en menor proporción.

The physicochemical analysis determined the following characteristics: color (L * 60,51, a * -2,83, b * 14,31), refractive index: 1,475; specific density: 0,9132 and solubility in alcohol: 75 ml. Also, the chemical composition was evaluated by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The chromatogram showed the following percentages: l-4 terpineol with 26,56; thymol with 18,80; 11,77; 6,53; Terpineol, 4,08; 3,27 and carvacrol 2,24, among others present in smaller proportion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
