Abstract

Abstract The aerial parts of Thymus daenensis Celak, at full flowering stage, were steam distilled for 45 minutes to obtain essential oil in 1.1% (w/w). The oil was analyzed by capillary GC and GC-MS. Among the 30 compounds identified, the major components were thymol (49.7%), carvacrol (15.2%), p-cymene (6.4%), γ-terpinene (5.4%) and 1,8–cineole + limonene (3.2%).
