The effects of wild thyme (Thymus serpyllum L.) essential oil components against ochratoxin-producing Aspergilli.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the essential oil of Thymus serpyllum L. and of its components thymol and total phenols (total phenolic content, TPC) extracted from the plant on the growth and mycotoxin production of Aspergillus ochraceus, A. carbonarius, and A. niger. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined for the essential oil and thymol, and selected concentr...
متن کاملSeasonal Variation in Essential Oil Content and Composition of Thyme, Thymus serpyllum L. Cultivated in Uttarakhand Hills
Thymus serpyllum L. grown in Kumaon region of Western Himalaya was investigated for essential oil content and composition in different seasons. The oils of fresh samples were obtained by hydrodistillation. The yield of essential oil (% v/w) during different seasons varied from 0.07 to 0.28% with the highest in summer season, at vegetative stage. The oils were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Major com...
متن کاملStudies on the Chemical Constituents of Thymus serpyllum
Phytochemical investigations on the methanolic extract of Thymus serpyllum resulted in the isolation of 2 new compounds, 3-ketopentatriacontanoic acid (1) and 27-ketotriacontanol (2). The extract also afforded 3 known compounds, 3 β-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (3), 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-sitosterol (4), and dihydroursonic acid (5), detected for the first time from Thymus serpyllum. The struc...
