The occurrence of several chemotypes is reported, for example, for commercially used Origanum species, from Turkey (Baser, 2002). In 0. onites, two chemotypes are described, a car-vacrol type and a linalool type. Additionally, a mixed type with both basic types mixed may occur. In Turkey, two chemotypes of Origanum majorana are known, one contains cA-sabinene hydrate as chemotypical lead compound and is used as marjoram in cooking (marjoramy), while the other one contains carvacrol in high amounts and is used to distil oregano oil in a commercial scale.
