Abstract
Chemometric investigation of the infraspecific variability of the esse ntial oil of 31 populations of Thymus piperella led to the differentia tion of three main chemotypes; type A: p-cymene-carvacrol-gamma-terpin ene (11 populations); type B: p-cymene-thymol (5 populations); type C: p-cymene-carvacrol (15 populations). The compound p-cymene is the mos t abundant constituent in all samples. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
