ABSTRACT

Objectives: to extract, to characterize and to determine the antioxidant activity of the essential oil of French Oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus L) grown in the northern part of the Department of Bolívar, Colombia.
Methods: essential oil was extracted by distillation and radiation microwaveassisted hydrodistillation, from the leaves; relative density at 20°C, refractive index; solubility of the essential oils in ethanol (70% v/v) and optical rotation were determined. The chemical composition was assessed using gas chromatography/ mass spectrometer. The antioxidant activity was determined using the techniques of antiradical activity by the DPPH., ABTS.+ and ORAC methods.
Results: yields ranged from 0.05 to 0.78%, depending on the extraction method used. The results of the test of antioxidant activity showed that the essential oils of French oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus L) obtained by both methods of extraction had promising results; in addition, these oils had high contents of ,oxygenated monoterpeneswith recognized antioxidant activity, such as carvacrol and thymol.
Conclusions: the essential oil of French oregano (Plectranthus amboinicus L) is considered as promising to design products with antioxidant activity.
