“…Regarding Thymus algeriensis, the components are the same only the proportions vary. The chemical composition of thyme extracts, particularly that of essential oils, is known to be rich and diversifi ed not only in Morocco (Tahiri, 1996;Benjilali et al, 1987;Richard et al, 1985) but also in other regions in the world (Stahl-Biskup, 1991;Raal et al, 2004). Carvacrol, thymol and borneol are the major products the most encountered in different extracts of Moroccan thyme.…”

The composition of the essential oils of four populations of Thymus lotocephalus G. LoH pez and R. Morales and one population of T.;mourae Paiva and Salgueiro, two endemic taxa from Portugal, was investigated mainly by GC and GC}MS. T;mourae is a natural hybrid between T. lotocephalus and T. mastichina (L.) L. subsp. donyanae R. Morales, which essential oil was analysed for the "rst time. In its oil, it was possible to "nd compounds of both parents, which could enable us to con"rm its intermediate status between those two taxa. 1,8-Cineole and borneol were the main constituents in the essential oil of T.;mourae, whereas linalool, geranyl acetate and 1,8-cineol were the major ones in T. lotocephalus. Intermedeol was also an important constituent in the oils of both taxa. Nevertheless, the volatile oils of the four populations investigated of T. lotocephalus showed important di!erences among the main constituents. In order to study their infraspeci"c variability, the results obtained in the analysis of individual plants were submitted to a Principal Component and Chemometric Cluster Analyses. Five types of essential oils were found: linalool, 1,8-cineole, linalool/1,8-cineole, linalyl acetate/linalool and geranyl acetate.

“…The genus Thymus represents high infraspecific morphological variability and chemical polymorphism caused by environmental factors and genetic variation due to frequent hybridization and sexual dimorphism (gynodioecy) (Stahl-Biskup, 1991Morales, 2002;Marin et al, 2003;Dajić-Stevanović et al, 2008). Taxonomically Thymus is a very complex genus, because of the polymorphism of a number of species and the absence of intrageneric incompatibility.…”

Effects of different factors influencing the essential oil properties of Thymus vulgaris L.

2016

Thymus vulgaris L. is a well-know medicinal and aromatic plant native to the Mediterranean region. The essential oil is considered as the main active constituent, being responsible for its typical odour and taste as well as for several therapeutic effects. Our aim was to demonstrate the most important factors influencing the quality and quantity parameters of thyme oil by summarizing the available literature data and our own scientific results. Genetic background, climatic and growing conditions, techniques of primary processing, storage conditions as well as different extraction methods have proven effects on the essential oil properties and, as a consequence, on its biological activity, either.
