Abstract
Marjoram oil relaxes tense muscles and is supportive of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. It is antispasmodic and tonic. In this study, the essential oil of marjoram was analyzed by gas chromatography and assayed for their antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Antimicrobial activity was tested against Fusarium aquaductuum and fusarium dimerum isolate (1), at 1.5, 3 and 4.5 concentration. A significant rate of antifungal activity noticed at 4.5% concentration of oil. Antioxidant activity was noticed when the oil gave good result and more active on intestine cancer.
