Özet: It was aimed to determine chemical structure and in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil at the leaf and flower of Origanum minutiflorum O. Schwarz et. P. H. Davis. The essential oils of Origanum minutiflorum (Lamiaceae) were analyzed via GC-MS method. Leaves were composed of carvacrol 44.96 % while the oil of the flowers was composed of 34.04 % carvacrol. The essential oils in leaves and flowers showed strong antimicrobial activity against to all bacteria except Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antioxidant activity was analyzed systems of β-carotene/linoleic acid and DPPH. IC50 values of the essential oils were found 110μg/ml and 105μg/ml respectively. Inhibition percentage of Origanum minutiflorum essential oil was found as 66% and 71% respectively.
