High impact information on Thymus Plant

 

Anatomical context of Thymus Plant

  • Azo dye-mediated regulation of total phenolics and peroxidase activity in thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) clonal lines [5].
 

Associations of Thymus Plant with chemical compounds

  • In contrast, thymol and p-cymene, the most abundant compounds in thyme leaves, showed big differences, with generally higher amounts of monoterpenes obtained by SDE [6].
  • AIMS: This study aims to bring some information about the mechanism of the fungicidal action of thymol and eugenol; phenolic major components of thyme and clove essential oils respectively [7].
  • The antioxidant activities of the extracts decreased in the following order in both of the lipophilic assay systems: thyme > basil > rosemary > chamomile > lavender and cinnamon [8].
  • At a concentration of 50 microg/mL, thyme extract was similar in antioxidant activity to BHT and alpha-tocopherol in the conjugated diene assay [8].
  • However, incorporation of thyme oil and trans-cinnamaldehyde reduced the acceptability scores for taste and odor [9].
 

Gene context of Thymus Plant

  • Totally, 61 constituents were identified in thyme essential oil by capillary GC and GC-MS [10].
  • Dietary administration of 2% thyme caused slightly but significantly higher ECOD, GST, and QR activities by 1.1-1.4-fold [11].
  • The effects of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) leaves and its phenolic compounds, thymol and carvacrol, on the activities of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, i.e., phase I enzymes such as 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD) and phase II enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR), were investigated [11].
  • Spectrophotometric determination of certain volatile oils. Part 1: Assay for phenols in volatile oils of clove and thyme [12].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Thymus Plant

  • Acidic polysaccharide (TV-3-IIIA-IIa) purified from the hot-water extract of thyme leaves by DEAE-Toyopearl 650C, Butyl-Toyopearl 650M and Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography and preparative HPLC [13].
