Abstract

The essential oils from 19 samples of Satureja cuneifolia that is used as a substitute for thyme in Turkey have been analysed by GC and GC/ MS. The plant materials were collected from different regions of Turkey. The results are presented in a comparative manner. Eleven oil samples were found to be rich in carvacrol (26-72%) while in eight samples thymol (22-58%) was the main constituent.
