“…These results are in agreement with those previously published by other authors, who reported that the major component of thyme essential oil is thymol, a monoterpene phenol derivative of cymene [ 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Rus et al [ 35 ] have reported that o -cymene and γ -terpinene are the main chemotypes of TEO. Regarding the type of compounds, monoterpene hydrocarbonates (MH) represent 68.415%, monoterpene oxigenated (MO) 25.299%, and sesquiterpene hydrocarbonates (SH) 6.063%.…”

The current study aimed to investigate the chemical composition and the synergistic potential of two essential oils (EOs), as obtained from Salvia officinalis L. (SEO), and Thymus vulgaris L. (TEO). The antifungal potential was tested in vitro against Fusarium graminearum (Fg 06_17), the herbicidal effect was studied using weed seeds of Amaranthus retroflexus (ARET), Chenopodium album (CALB), Echinochloa crus-galli (EGAL), but also wheat seeds (WS) of the Lovrin variety and tomato seeds Saint-Pierre of the variety. The GC-MS profile highlights that the mains compounds identified in SEO were: caryophyllene (25.364%), camphene (14.139%), eucalyptol (13.902%), and β-pinene (11.230%), while in TEO, the predominant phytochemicals were: γ-terpinene (68.415%) and p-thymol (24.721%). The results indicated that the tested EOs alone as well as in combination have allelopathic effect against investigated seeds, while the synergistic effect of TEO and SEO in terms of fungal growth was demonstrated at a level of 0.06%. Thyme and sage EOs exhibited in vitro anti-proliferative activity on two melanoma cell lines, namely A375 human melanoma and B164A5 mouse melanoma alone, as well as in combination. SEO was most effective in terms of decreasing the cell viability of murine and human melanoma cell lines when compared to TEO.

“…Rus et al [ 149 ] evaluated the chemical composition of EOs from three species of the Lamiaceae family ( T. vulgaris, T. serpyllum, and Satureja montana ), which showed the following major compounds: p-cymene, γ -terpinene, and carvacrol. Their antifungal activity was evaluated against Verticillium dahliae and Penicillium aurantiogriseum at concentrations ranging from 0.25–15 mg/L.…”

Medicinal and aromatic plants present important active compounds that have potential for use in food, pharmaceutical, and agriculture industries. In this sense, the present work aimed to conduct a literature review on the potential applications of essential oils from Lamiaceae species. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities were evaluated. The importance of this study is demonstrated as a way to theoretically provide information on the use of different plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family, especially with regard to the physical, chemical, and biological properties of its essential oils.

“…Wild thymes from Serbia are also quite different from other at least 10 identified ones in Europe and far beyond it where: thymol, 7 carvacrol, 8 terpinene, 9 γ - terpinene + carvacrol, 10 geraniol, 11 myrcene, caryophyllene oxide, germacrene D, and borneol 12 and 2,4,6-trimethyl-anisol. 13 Furthermore, 5 more dominant compounds: 1,8-cineole, germacrene B, ( E)- β - ocimene, α -cadinol and ( Z )- p -menth-2-en-1-ol in 3 Indian varieties were found.…”

Volatiles of Thymus serpyllum L. were obtained by hydrodistillation (HD), simultaneous hydrodistillation, and extraction (SDE) and static headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (head space [HS]), respectively. Monoterpenes were the most dominant in all 3 techniques (84.8%-94.2%). Essential oil profiles obtained by HD and SDE were similar, with oxygenated monoterpenes being the most abundant (up to 75.4%). In HS volatiles of T. serpyllum monoterpene hydrocarbons strongly dominated (94.2%). The main compounds were α-terpinyl acetate (HD and SDE) and myrcene (HS).
