Abstract:This study aimed to define the chemical composition of Moroccan Thymus capitatus essential oil, and to investigate its in vitro antioxidant and antifungal activities against human pathogenic fungi. Chemical analysis using GC‐FID and GC‐MS system revealed 28 constituents, representing 99% of total compounds. Oxygenated monoterpenes represented the highest proportion (79.79%), among which carvacrol (75.73%) was the predominant compound, followed by linalol (2.26%). Monoterpene hydrocarbons represented the second… Show more
