Book Description
Thyme oil is among the world's top ten essential oils, displaying antibacterial, antimycotic, antioxidative, food preservative and mammalian age-delaying properties. Recently an increased demand has lead to new winter-hardy, high yield cultivars being developed for commercial cultivation in Canada and North America. This comprehensive volume covers all aspects of the biology, cultivation, pharmacology, chemistry and industrial processing of the genus Thymus. Thyme: The Genus Thymus is the most up to date overview of current knowledge in thyme use, and will be an invaluable reference source to those interested in medicinal plants, natural products, pharmacy, pharmacognosy and agronomy.ContributorsFrancisco Sez, Universidad de Murcia, Spain, Ramn Morales, Real Jardn Botnico de Madrid, CSIC, Spain, John D.
