چکیده
The species Thymus comosus grows spontaneously in the Romanian flora, at altitudes of 400-700 m, and it is harvested for obtaining the collective herbal drug Serpylli herba. The content of essential oil of this species was assessed and the chemical composition of the essential oil was analysed by gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. A content of 0.09 0.1 % essential oil was established. The main compounds identified in T. comosus essential oil were: caryophyllene-oxide (54.82 %), camphene (10.73 %), β-bourbonene (5.90 %), eudesmol (3.65 %), α-pinene (3.67 %). Rezumat Specia Thymus comosus creşte spontan în flora României la altitudini de 400700 m şi se recoltează pentru obţinerea produsului vegetal colectiv Serpylli herba. S-a dozat conţinutul în ulei volatil al acestei specii şi s-a analizat compoziţia chimică a acestuia prin metoda gaz-cromatografiei cuplată cu spectrometria de masă. S-a determinat un conţinut de 0,09 0,1 % ulei volatil. Compuşii majoritari identificaţi în uleiul volatil de T. comosus au fost: cariofilen-oxid (54,82 %), camfen (10,73 %), β-burbonen (5,90 %), eudesmol (3,65 %), α-pinen (3,67 %).
