Abstract
The chemical compositions, nutrients and mineral compositions of Origanum vulgare have been analyzed . The results indicated that the inatial contents by using different solvent contens were flavonoids, glycoside ,sterols, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins and saponins . The quantitative contents of glycoside , Flavonids, sterols, tannin, phenlic compounds, saponin and alkaloids were [(14.66±245.7 mg / 100gm), (197.71±11.89mg/100gm), (109.09±5.41mg/100gm), (35±2.12mg/100gm), (34.3 2.45 ± mg/100gm) .66 ،± 0.062 %) and (0.1 ± 1.3 % )] respectively . while the moisture content was 5.63±0.082 % and 94.83±0.82 for the total solids.while the crude fiber was 16.56± 0.48 % , ash 6.7 ± 0.017 % and crud fat was 7.78 % . The Crude protein contents of Origanum vulgare were 8500 mg/100g and 21.78 mg/100g for carbohydrates, The energy value was191.14 Kcal/100g. The predominant minerals were calicium75.94 mg/gm, fllowed by Magnesium36.63 mg/gm ,Iron 1.88 mg/gm and Mnganese 0.466 mg/gm then Zinc 0.416 mg/gm, comparable amounets of copper 0.233 mg/gm and lead , selenium , cadimium (0.0132, 0.0054, 0.0023) mg/gm respectively. From these results it be can concluded that the Origanum vulgare was a rich source of antioxidants, energy, and important minerals , so it is suitabile as a regular compenent in humen diet
