	abstract = {The Labiatae family is rich in plants that are sources of essential oils having aromatic notes and biological properties. Considering the interest in natural products for cosmetic, perfumery, food and pharmacological industry, the deeper knowledge of the potentiality of different aromatic plants can give results of economic importance. In our work, the essential oils of fourteen species were evaluated for their quali- quantitative composition and biological activity. The species analysed are: basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), beebalm (Monarda didyma L.), pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.), spearmint (Mentha spicata L.), headed savory (Thymus capitatus Hoffm.et Link), calamint (Calamintha nepeta L.), winter savory (Satureja montana L.), savory (Satureja cuneifolia Ten.), thymbra (Thymbra sintenisii Bornm. et Aznav. ssp. isaurica P.H. Davis), a cultivated rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L) and four wild rosemaries harvested in different Italian locations: Elba Island (Tuscany), Sicily, Abruzzo and Calabria. The oils, obtained by steam-distillation of fresh aerial part of the plants harvested at full flowering stage, were characterized by GC-MS, tested for antimicrobial property by determining the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and for the antioxidant activity by B-carotene bleaching test. Each species was characterized by a peculiar qualiquantitative composition and all the oils contained compounds with established biological activity. Headed savory exerted the highest antimicrobial control also at low concentrations. Basil and rosemary from Elba Island evidenced a great antioxidant capability comparable to that of α-tocopherol used as reference antioxidant agent.},

	abstract = {Commercial samples of thyme and marjoram oils were analyzed by capillary GC and coupled GC/MS. The anti-microbial activity of each oil was assessed against 10 different bacteria and eight strains of yeasts. p-Cymene (25.2\%), thymol (31.4\%) and carvacrol (3.8\%) were important compounds in the oil of thyme, while limonene (17.3\%), linalool (15.5\%), terpinen-4-ol (7.3\%), α-terpineol (13.0\%) and linalyl acetate (14.1\%) were major constituents in marjoram oil. Thyme oil possessed remarkable antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms, while marjoram oil demonstrated a lower antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial activity of oils was higher against yeasts than bacteria. {\textcopyright} 2006 Allured Publishing Corp.},

	abstract = {The genus Thymus (Lamiaceae) is represented by 38 species (64 taxa) in Turkey, and 24 of which are endemic to Turkey. Aerial parts of Thymus longicaulis subsp. chaubardii var. chaubardii, T. zygioides var. lycaonicus, T. longicaulis subsp. longicaulis var. subisophyllus and T. pulvinatus collected from three different localities in Balikesir province were subjected to hydrodistillation to yield essential oils which were subsequently analysed by GC and GC/MS. The main constituents of the oils were identified, and antimicrobial bioassay was applied. Thymol (56.6\%, 42.8\%, 36.9\%) was the main component in the oils of T. longicaulis subsp. chaubardii var. chaubardii (chemotype I), T. longicaulis subsp. chaubardii var. chaubardii (chemotype II) and T. zygioides var. lycaonicus respectively. The oil of T. longicaulis subsp. longicaulis var. subisophyllus contained carvacrol (60.0\%) and the oil of T. pulvinatus borneol (27.9\%) as main constituents.},
