Since thyme species contain essential oils, they have a characteristic odor. The amount of this essential oil is around 3-4% in oregano extract. The main component of the essential oil is mostly carvacrol and its ratio is between 70-80%. There are also chemotypes containing thymol. Thyme extract also contains compounds such as γ-terpinene, apigenin, diosmetin, luteolin, rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid. Thyme essential oil has strong antibacterial, antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, cholagogue, diaphoretic, emmenagogue, expectorant and stimulating effects due to the carvacrol and thymol molecules it contains.
