The main components of the citral-geraniol chemotype of lemon-scented essential oil are the following (%): geraniol (14.9-30.8), geranial (transcitral, 9.7-19.7), β-caryophylene (6.0-11.4), nerol (4.1-11.8), and neral (cis-citral, 0.1-9.5). The essential oil of carvacrol chemotypes contain more compounds that are characteristic of the thyme genus (%): carvacrol (16.0-22.2), β-bisabolene (11.1-20.2), β-caryophyllene (11.1- 19.1), γ-terpinene (5.8-16.2), p-cimene (5.5-10.4), thymol (3.3-9.8), and carvacrol methyl ether (5.6-8.6). The correlation between the odor and composition of the essential oil will help the users of wild thyme to choose the necessary chemotype for their purposes.10aCarvacrol chemotype10aChemotypes of essential oil10aCitral-geraniol chemotype10aThymus pulegioides L.1 aMockute, D1 aBernotiene, G  uhttp://www.scopus.com/scopus/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0032839963&partnerID=40&rel=R6.5.0
