“…The antibacterial potential of thyme is well recognized and documented; recently, Cheurfa and Allem [433] tested [434] obtaining excellent results as the extract of this herb had a high antiglycation effect with 50 % inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) of 0.02 mg/mL. As already stated for essential oils (see previous paragraphs), the use of nanoconstructs can modulate and even ameliorate the bioactivities of vegetable matrices; Proks et al [435] conducted an experiment on four different cancer cell lines: (12), quercetin (30) and phloridzin (54). As regarding uncommon thyme varieties, Khouya and others [436] evaluated the anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant and antioxidant effects of aqueous extracts from Thymus atlanticus, T. satureioides and T. zygis.…”

Lamiaceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants comprising about 250 genera and over 7,000 species. Most of the plants of this family are aromatic and therefore important source of essential oils. Lamiaceae are widely used as culinary herbs and reported as medicinal plants in several folk traditions. In the Mediterranean area oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme and lavender stand out for geographical diffusion and variety of uses. The aim of this review is to provide recent data dealing with the phytochemical and pharmacological studies, and the more recent applications of the essential oils and the non‐volatile phytocomplexes. This literature survey suggests how the deeper understanding of biomolecular processes in the health and food sectors as per as pest control bioremediation of cultural heritage, or interaction with human microbiome, fields, leads to the rediscovery and new potential applications of well‐known plants.

“…The EOs were analysed using a gas chromatograph (TRACE GC Ultra) coupled with a mass spectrometer (Polaris Q‐Ion Trap MS) 13 . Operating in electron‐impact EI (70 eV) mode, VB‐5 (95% methylpolysiloxane; 5% phenyl) and a column (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm thickness) were used.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the major compounds of wild and cultivated Origanum compactum essential oils and to study their antibacterial activity. The wild O. compactum was harvested at the flowering stage from northern Morocco, and then, two modes of culture were realized: seed germination and cuttings. Essential oils were isolated using steam distillation and the chemical composition was determined by GC‐MS. The antibacterial activity was tested against four bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria innocua) using the well diffusion assay; then, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined by the microdilution method. The results showed that carvacrol (11.05%‐63.65%), thymol (0.16%‐30.72%), p‐cymene (6.69%‐36.79%), γ‐terpinene (0.86%‐22.37%) and trans‐caryophyllene (0.15%‐5.76%) were the major compounds. The rate of these compounds varied importantly between wild and cultivated O. compactum. The antibacterial assays revealed that all oils tested from wild and cultivated studied O. compactum showed strong activities. The diameter of inhibitory zones varied from 10.33 to 49.00 mm, and the MIC and MBC values ranged from 0.06% to 0.5% (v/v) and from 0.12% to 0.5% (v/v), respectively, with significant differences between wild and cultivated plants. From these results, it was concluded that the domestication of O. compactum using seed germination and cutting significantly affects the amount of the major compounds and consequently its antimicrobial properties.

“…The antifungal activity of essential oil from Origanum compactum has been demonstrated by several studies; against: the species of Aspergillus and A. niger (Charai et al, 1996), P. italicum, A. alternata (Sakkas and Papadopoulou, 2017), against Gram + bacteria and Gram-bacteria and also against resistant strains of E. coli (Ben Hammou et al, 2011;Bouhdid et al, 2008). Laghmouchi et al, (2018) reported that the MIC for S. aureus decreases with increasing concentration of the essential of Origanum compactum. So this oil can be used as a substitute for chemical preservatives for the control of S. aureus: agent responsible for poisoning through the consumption of contaminated meat products.…”

The aim of this work is to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil of Origanum compactum, from the region of Meknes (Morocco), and their antimicrobial effect, and on the other hand, to carry out a comparison between the chemical composition of this essential oil with the six regions of Morocco: Larache, Chefchaouen, Al Hoceïma, Tetouan, Taounate and Rabat. The essential oils of Origanum compactum thus obtained were analyzed and identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). To determine the similarities and dissimilarities between the chemical compositions of the essential oil of Origanum compactum from the Meknes region with the other six regions of Morocco, we performed the principal component analysis (ACP). Regarding antimicrobial activity, the essential oils of Origanum compactum have shown significant inhibitory activity against the bacteria and molds studied.
