Abstract
Thyme (Zataria multiflora Boiss.) of Labiatae strain is found wild in wide areas of central and southern Iran. This study aimed to identify the quantity and quality of essential oil in south of Kerman. In this investigation, the aerial parts of the plant were collected from Kahnuj of Kerman and its essential oil was isolated by hydrodistillation. The essential oil was yellow in color and analyzed by GC-MS method. The identification of components of essential oil was carried out by comparison of their Kovats indexes and MS spectra data. The yield was 1.4% based on the dried weight of the sample. 29 different compounds were identified that was representing 98.89% of the total of essential oil. The major compounds were: thymol (62.16%), p-cymene (13.35%), -terpinene (5.5%), -pinene (3.64%) and carvacrol methyl ether (2.15%). Therefore, this essential oil can be a rich source of thymol and perhaps has its therapeutical effects such as, antispasmodic, antifungal, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. Compare to the results of this study and the other studies indicated, Kahnuj accession has the highest essential oil, thymol, and para-cymene; but the lowest linalool and carvacrol.
