The waterdistilled essential oil from dried aerial parts of one of the Algerian thymes, Thymus fontanesii Boiss. & Reut. grown in Setif province, Algeria, was analyzed by GC/MS. Fifteen components were characterized representing 99.4% of the total components detected. The major components of the oil were thymol (67.8%), gamma-terpinene (15.9%) and p-cymene (13.0%).

Background: Thymus is a widely used medicinal plant in food and pharmaceutical industries. Among different species of Thymus, T. vulgaris is used more than other species in therapeutic dosage forms. Objective: This study was conducted to differentiate various Thymus species by TLC fingerprint. Methods: In order to identify and differentiate various species of Thymus, TLC fingerprints of ess...

thymus vulgaris is a plant from lamiasceae family. the antimicrobial activities of t. vulgaris essential oil and extract depend on the phenolic compounds like carvacrol, thymol, γ-terpinene and p-cymene, which are reported to have antibacterial properties. in this research the antimicrobial effect of different concentration (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4%)of thymus vulgaris extract was studied on salmonella...

ABSTRACT: Essential oils are commonly used to treat minor health problems. In this study the chemical compositions of Lavandula officinalis and Thymus vulgaris were determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. GC/MS analysis of T. vulgaris resulted in thymol as the major oil component where as methyl sulfony exhibited as the most abundant constituent of L. officinalis. The antibacter...

BACKGROUND Thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol) is the main monoterpene phenol found in thyme essential oil. This compound has revealed several biological properties, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In this work, a comparison was made between the performance of different green solvents (ethanol, limonene and ethyl lactate), by pressurized liquid extraction ...
