Marjoram
Definition:
(n.) A genus of mintlike plants (Origanum) comprising about twenty-five species. The sweet marjoram (O. Majorana) is pecularly aromatic and fragrant, and much used in cookery. The wild marjoram of Europe and America is O. vulgare, far less fragrant than the other.
Example Sentences:
(1) The conversion of geranyl pyrophosphate to (+)-cis- and (+)-trans-sabinene hydrate by a partially purified cyclase from sweet marjoram (Majorana hortensis) is considered to proceed by the initial ionization and isomerization of the substrate to (-)-(3R)-linalyl pyrophosphate and the subsequent cyclization of this enzyme-bound tertiary allylic intermediate to the monocyclic (+)-(4R)-alpha-terpinyl cation.
(2) An experiment explored how well young, middle-aged, and elderly subjects could discriminate the presence or absence of the spice marjoram in a soup prepared according to a published recipe.
