Abstract
The genus Thymus belongs to family Lamiaceae. It is perennial, aromatic herbs and subshrubs. The rate and main components of essential oil from aerial parts of Thymus fedtschenkoi (Ronniger) were investigated in this study. Samples of the T. fedtschenkoi were collected from five altitudinal populations at Easthern part of Turkey (Van) at flowering stage from natural habitats. Samples were collected from five different locations and the essential oils isolated by hydro distillation from the aerial parts were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). After quantified the essential oils, Thymol, 1,8-Cineole, Linalool and Thymene were found to be major constituent. The amount of Linalool, 1,8-Cineole, Thymol, and Thymene ranged from 50.08-73%, 5.39-23.53%, 19.13-27.81% and 10.48-16.22%, respectively. The results obtained from this study contributed to determine the chemical structure as well as the quality of consumption of the Thymus fedtschenkoi (Ronniger) plants for the study area. © 2018, Centenary University.
