Effect of Drying Methods on the Composition Volatile of Compounds of Thyme (Thymus sipyleus Boiss. var. sipyleus)

Abstract

Drying is an important application for aromatic plants and showed variations regard to plant material and drying methods. In this study, aerial parts of Thymus sipyleus Boiss.var.sipyleus were dried with four different drying methods (Air-dried, Microwave, Freeze-drying, oven drying at 50-70 oC.) and extracted with Simultaneous Distillation-Extraction (SDE) to determine the volatile compounds. Citronellol, 1,8-cineol, camphor camphene and myrcene were found to be the dominant compounds in all samples. The amount of citronellol increased with drying to 22,7% where this amount was 17,9% in the fresh samples. Thymol was ranging between 0,35-3,80% with different drying methods. Drying procedure decreases (3-5%) the amount of monoterpene hydrocarbons. However, alcohol forms of these compounds were increased (1-6%). Air-drying and 50 oC oven-drying can be suitable methods for drying of this species.
