Abstract
The essential oil obtained from the fresh leaves of Thymus persicus growing wild at 2200 m in Lorestan State, was analyzed by using GC and GC/MS. Twenty-six compounds representing 98.05% of T. persicus essential oil were identified. The major constituents were thymol (10.38%), carvacrol (25.71%), γ-terpinene (5.63%), limonene (11.62%), 1,8-cineol (5.24%) and trans-sabinene hydrate (7.78%).
