The content and chemical composition of essential oils in two aromatic seasonings: marjoram and savory, produced by several manufacturers and offered on the Polish market were investigated. The main constituents of all the studied samples of commercial marjoram were terpinen- 4-ol (27–46%), cis-sabinene hydrate (3–21%) and γ-terpinene (8–17%). Polish commercial marjoram belonged to terpinen-4-ol/cis-sabinene hydrate chemotype. Essential oil content ranged from 0.57% to 2.00%. Commercial savory contained from 2.30% to 3.80% essential oil. The main compounds of the oil were carvacrol (39–52%) and γ-terpinene (31–39%). Polish savory belonged to carvacrol/γ-terpinene chemotype.

Określono zawartość i skład chemiczny olejku eterycznego w dwóch przyprawach aromatycznych dostępnych w handlu: majeranku i cząbrze. Głównymi składnikami olejku eterycznego majeranku były: terpinen-4-ol (27–46%), cis-hydrat sabinenu (3–21%) i γ-terpinen (8–17%). Majeranek należał do jednego chemotypu, z dominującymi w olejku terpinen- 4-olem i cis-hydratem sabinenu. Zawartość olejku eterycznego wahała się w zakresie 0,57–2,00%. Cząber dostępny w handlu zawierał 2,30–3,80% olejku eterycznego, którego głównymi składnikami były karwakrol (39–52%) i γ-terpinen (31–39%). Cząber dostępny w polskich sklepach należał do chemotypu karwakrolowo – γ-terpinenowego.
