| PAS 1 | The EO of leaves showed insecticidal activity against fourth instars of Spodoptera littoralis and adults of Aphis fabae L. And Aspergillus spp. by topical application assay and residual film assay. [Sharma N, Dubey N K and Sharma K, Screening of insecticidal and antifungal activity of Origanum majorana oil against Callosobruchus chinensis L. and Aspergillus spp., Res J Agric & Biol Sci, 2011, 7(2), 223-227.] |
| PAS 2 | The essential oils (EOs) derived from leaves showed antibacterial effect on various bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus coagulase, Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp.) In agar diffusion assay and using S. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae and Pseudomonas spp. by using dilution techniques of Kirby-Bauer method. The ethanol and water extract of O. majorana L. have shown antimicrobial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and its possible food applications by minimum inhibition concentration estimation. Ethanol extract had high inhibition effect against bacteria comparable to water extract. [Mohamed N, Yasmen S H and Nohir G, Antimicrobial activity of water and ethanol Marjoram (Origanum marjorana L.) Extract, The 6th Arab and 3rd International Annual Scientific Conference, 2011, 2350-2366.] |
| PAS 3 | Origanum majorana L. (Family Lamiaceae) is a frost tender perennial undershrub, native to Cyperus and naturalised in Mediterranean regions, particularly found in temperate regions of the Himalayas. Its usage for flavour and aroma dates back to ancient times. Traditionally, the leaves of marjoram are used for its medicinal properties to cure insomnia, gastritis, asthma and nervousness. Now-a-days, it is in great demand to be used in aromatherapy. Although various bioactive constituents are reported in aerial parts of the herb, but isolation of volatile oil and identification of its constituents has been the area of focus of the researchers.

Origanum majorana L. -Phyto-pharmacological review. 6. 261-267.] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/292161091_Origanum_majorana_L_-Phyto-pharmacological_review |
| PAS 4 | Our study indicates that essential oils from local plants of marjoram were highly effective in the vapour phase against head lice. [Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2014) 3(11) 695-707] https://www.ijcmas.com/vol-3-11/Gehad%20T.%20El-%20Sherbini,%20et%20al.pdf |
