We reported previously that fresh herbs belong to <i>Labiatae</i>, especially in oregano contained very high 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and polyphenol compounds. DPPH radical scavenging activity of fresh herbs was positively correlated with polyphenol content. DPPH radical scavenging activity and superoxide anion (O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>) scavenging activity measured by nitrite method of oregano fresh leaves were 13400μmol ascorbic acid (AsA) eq./100g fr. wt. and 7380μmol AsA eq./100g fr. wt., respectively. Among more than 20 peaks detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in 80% ethanol extract of oregano leaves, rosmarinic acid, protocatechuic acid and caffeic acid were identified by retention time of HPLC and ultraviolet absorption spectrum. DPPH radical and O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> scavenging activities in boiled leaves were approximately 1.3 times higher than those in fresh leaves. Although the amounts of rosmarinic acid, protocatechuic acid and caffeic acid were increased after boiling, prominently increased phenolic compound in boiled leaves was a compound of peak 1. This was identified as 3-(3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl) lactic acid by ultraviolet absorption spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and mass spectrum. Identified 4 phenolic acids contributed approximately 55% of the DPPH radical scavenging activity and approximately 30-40% of the O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> scavenging activity of both of fresh and boiled leaves of oregano.
