| Abstract | Thymus L. is one of the most important and polymorphic genera of the Lamiaceae family, comprises ca. 250 species distributed across the Eurasian continent, North and East Africa, and southern Greenland, but the great majority of the indigenous species is found in the area that surrounds the Mediterranean region. Thymus species can potentially be used as the medicinal or aromatic herbs in the pharmaceutical and food industries. The essential oils of Thymus species are characterized by a high chemical variability due to different intrinsic (genetic variation) and extrinsic (ecological and environmental aspects) factors. Despite broad scientific interest in the biology, taxonomy, chemotypes, and related biological activity of secondary metabolites of Thymus species, there is a general lack of information regarding this genus from Balkan. The aim of the present review was to comprise the literature in order to document essential oil constituents that characterize different Thymus species from Balkan Peninsula. Essential oil composition of 45 Thymus taxa from ten countries was summarized. In addition, it discusses the reported biological activities of Thymus species, with particular focus on their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Cultivation of rare species, monitoring, and standardization of their essential oils, as well as direct studies on cellular and animal models are needed to assess whole spectrum of biological properties of essential oils of Thymus species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
