Abstract
Thymus species are well known as medicinal plants because of their biological and pharmacological properties. Thymus caramanicus Jalas is an endemic species of Iran. Essential oils of the air-dried aerial parts of seven populations of Thymus caramanicus collected from different locations of Iran were obtained by hydrodistillation with a yield of 0.41–2.9% (w/w). The essential oils were analyzed by combination of GC and GC-MS techniques. Oxygenated monoterpenes were the main group of constituents in all samples. carvacrol (24.9–97.6%), Thymol (25.6–36.9%), p-cymene (2.9–16.1%), and γ-terpinene (1.3–8.1%), represented as the major compounds.
