| Abstract: | The essential oils of the Albanian thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) were obtained by steam distillation of air-dried plant material and examined by GC and GUMS. Over 86 compounds were detected in the oils, from which more than 40 could be identified. The main components identified were: p-cymene: (7.76-43.75%), gamma-terpinene (4.20-27.62%), thymol (21.38-60.15%), carvacrol (1.15-3.04%) and beta-caryophyllene (1.30-3.07%). |
