Abstract
AIM: To analyse the essential oil components of Thymus quinquecostatus Celak. METHODS: Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry were used. RESULTS: A total of 78 components were separated. 34 of them were identified, which accounted for 95.93% of the total peak area. The main constituents are o-cymene, carvacrol, caryophyllene, 2-isopropyl-1-methoxy-4-methylbenzene and gamma-terpene. CONCLUSION: Thymus quinquecostatus Celak has perfume and medical development value.
