EPICE HUILE ESSENTIELLE FLAVONOIDE POLYPHENOL CONDUITE DE LA CULTURE RECOLTE |
Résumé : | The genus Thymus comprises around 350 species of perennial aromatic herbs and subshrubs native to Europe and North Africa. Various species of thyme are used as ornamentals, condiments and sources of essential oil. In addition to its traditional medicinal uses as an antibacterial, carminative, antitussive, expectorant and spasmolytic agent, thyme oil displays anti-ageing properties in mammals, and has antimycotic, antioxidative and food preserving properties. On the world market thyme oil is among the top ten essential oils and the demand continues to rise. The commercial supply of thyme originates mainly from European countries, but increased demand has led to new winter-hardy cultivars being developed for commercial cultivation in North America, notably in Canada. This fully referenced volume covers all aspects of the taxonomy. botany, cultivation, chemistry, pharmacology, industrial processing and uses of the genus Thymus. For those dealing in these sciences, other related health sciences and the food and flavouring industries, this volume is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source available. |
