Chemische Eigenschaften
Thyme oils are obtained by steam distillation of flowering herb of the thyme
species Thymus vulgaris L., grown in the Mediterranean region and in Eastern
Europe, and of Thymus zygis L., cultivated in Spain.The typical character of true
thymian oils is a relatively high content of the phenolic compounds thymol and
carvacrol, although thyme oils containing other main constituents (linalool, borneol)
may also be traded as thyme oils.
The best known thyme oil is Spanish red thyme oil obtained from T. zygis L. It
is a red or reddish liquid with a strong, characteristic, spicy, phenolic odor and a
sharp, lasting taste and has the highest thymol content of all thyme oils.

The main constituent of thyme oil is thymol (37–55%), which also predominantly
determines the sensory properties of the oil.
Physikalische Eigenschaften
The oil is a colorless, yellow or red liquid. The oil is affected by light. White thyme oil is a
pale-yellow liquid.
Occurrence
Found in the plants Thymus vulgaris L. and Thymus zygis L. (Fam. Labiatae) (Guenther, 1949).
Verwenden
thyme oil is widely used in botanical therapy since antiquity for its warming, stimulating, and cleansing properties, it is also considered a powerful anti-septic and tonic. Thyme oil serves as a natural preservative with anti-bacterial activity against a wide spectrum of bacterial classes. The genus Thymus produces a variety of species, subspecies, and chemotypes, many with completely different chemical compositions. This includes citriodora thyme, lemon thyme, and red thyme. Lemon thyme is described as healing and soothing for its use in skin care. The oil is obtained from the herb’s branches and flowers.
synthetische
By water and steam distillation of the partially dried plants Thymus vulgaris L. and Thymus zygis L. (Gildemeister & Hoffman, 1961).
Essential oil composition
Thymol and carvacrol are the two main constituents of the oil. Their relative percentage ratio in the oil
varies widely, depending on the botanical source. Other constituents include anisyl alcohol, linalool, borneol, geraniol, camphene
and gamma-terpinene.
Sicherheitsprofil
Moderately toxic by
ingestion. A severe skin irritant. Mutation
data reported. An allergen. Combustible
when exposed to heat or flame. When
heated to decomposition it emits acrid
smoke and irritating fumes.
