| Abstract: | The essential oils of three Hungarian cultivated thymes (Thymus vulgarts L., Thymus × citriodorus (Pers.) Schreb, Thymus × citriodorus "archer's gold") were obtained by steam distillation of air-dried plant materials and analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Three different chemotypes were found. In the oil of T. vulgarts thymol (45.6%), in T. × citriodorus geraniol (39.2%) and in T. × citriodorus, "archer's gold," carvacrol (43.5%) was the main component. Among the other constituents, p-cymene, β-caryophyllene, geranial, 1,8-cineole and γ-terpinene were characterized. © 2006 Allured Publishing Corp. |
