Abstract

The purpose of present research work is to evaluate the phytochemical contents of Oregano majorana L. specie endemic to north eastern Punjab region of Pakistan. Oregano majorana L was cultivated in our botanical garden under normal atmospheric conditions. Its flowering body parts and stems were plucked and kept in the absence of light for 45 days to avoid any damage or changes which may be possible due to Sun light or other indoor light. Both samples were grinded as fine powder to analyze phytochemical profile of Oregano majorana L using FTIR spectroscopic technique. FTIR is most suitable nondestructive, cost efficient, and eco-friendly technique which provides the right platform for researchers. Spectral lines of flowers and non-flowering portion have shown different characteristic peaks. Appropriate correlations of peaks to functional groups present were discussed.
