PAS_1	The EO of leaves showed insecticidal activity against fourth instars of Spodoptera littoralis and adults of Aphis fabae L. And Aspergillus spp. by topical application assay and residual film assay. [Sharma N, Dubey N K and Sharma K, Screening of insecticidal and antifungal activity of Origanum majorana oil against Callosobruchus chinensis L. and Aspergillus spp., Res J Agric & Biol Sci, 2011, 7(2), 223-227.]
PAS_2	The essential oils (EOs) derived from leaves showed antibacterial effect on various bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus coagulase, Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp.) In agar diffusion assay and using S. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae and Pseudomonas spp. by using dilution techniques of Kirby-Bauer method. The ethanol and water extract of O. majorana L. have shown antimicrobial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and its possible food applications by minimum inhibition concentration estimation. Ethanol extract had high inhibition effect against bacteria comparable to water extract.

Extract, The 6th Arab and 3rd International Annual Scientific Conference, 2011, 2350-2366.]
