This study includes extraction of volatile oil from thyme plant. Thin
layer chromatography (TLC) was used to isolate some active organic compounds
from this oil. Ethyl acetate: Toluene 5: 95% was used as mobile phase, TLC
chromate- gram appears more than five zones, and four of these zones were
identified and characterized by different spectroscopic methods UV –VIS.,I.R,
HNMR Spectra besides other analytical methods called gas chromatography (G.C).
Results obtained indicate clearly that the following compounds,
Carvacrol,p-Cymene, Camphor and thymol are present in the following percent
30%, 3%, 0.9%, 6.5% respectively are present in thyme oil besides other unknown
compounds. - See more at: .
