The radical scavenging activity was measured using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were estimated by Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride methods, respectively. According to the results the leaves extracts have very important values for polyphenols (266.86 mg GAE / g and 194.78 mg GAE / g) and high antioxidant activity; DPPH (IC50 = 1.37 g / l and IC50 = 1.53mg / l ) for species majorana, and vulgare respectively; also the DPPH of essential oil of Origanum vulgare was IC50 = 15.360 mg/l . This data suggest of these extracts as a natural source of phenolic compounds and antioxidant.enOriganum majorana, Origanum vulgare, polyphenol, flavanoid, DPPH.Extraction And Antioxidant Activities Of Two Species Origanum Plant Containing Phenolic And Flavonoid CompoundsArticle
