Factors affecting secondary metabolite production in plants: volatile components and essential oils
TL;DR: The presence, yield and composition of secondary metabolites in plants, viz. the volatile components and those occurring in essential oils, can be affected in a number of ways, from their formation in the plant to their final isolation.

TL;DR: T. capitata essential oil had a significantly higher antilisterial activity in comparison to O. vulgare oil and chloramphenicol, and can constitute a powerful tool in the control of L. monocytogenes in food and other industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composition and antioxidant activities of the essential oils of Thymus caespititius, Thymus camphoratus and Thymus mastichina
TL;DR: In this paper, the antioxidant properties of Thymus caespititius essential oils, isolated by hydrodistillation, from the aerial parts of thymus camphoratus and Thymous mastichina, collected during the vegetative phase, were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatograph coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
