Abstract

The essential oils obtained from the aerial parts of Thymus daenensis subsp. daenensis and Thymus kotschyanus were analyzed by using GC and GC/MS. Twenty six compounds representing 99.7% of T. daenensis subsp. daenensis oil were identified. The main ones were thymol (74.7%), p-cymene (6.5%), β-caryophyllene (3.8%) and methyl carvacrol (3.6%). Thirty one components accounting for 98.7% of T. kotschyanus oil were identified. The major constituents were thymol (38.6%), carvacrol (33.9%), γ-terpinene (8.2%) and p-cymene (7.3%). Both oils were found to be rich in monoterpene phenols, especially thymol and carvacrol.
