abstract = "Familija Lamiaceae (Usnatice) obuhvata veliki broj kosmopolitskih
vrsta, među kojima i vrste T. vulgaris (timijan) i T. serpyllum (majčina
dušica), koje karakteriše prisustvo etarskih ulja i fenolnih jedinjenja.
Timijan predstavlja višegodišnju polužbunastu biljku. Čašicu i krunicu
gusto pokrivaju trihome u kojima se sintetišu i skladište etarska ulja.
Koristi se list ili zeljasti nadzemni deo biljke u cvetu i etarsko ulje.
Majčina dušica je višegodišnja zeljasta biljka. Cvetne grane su
ravnomerno prekrivene žlezdanim trihomama. Koristi se nadzemni deo
biljke u cvetu. Herbal Medicinal Product Committee (HMPC)
klasifikuje herbu i etarsko ulje timijana kao tradicionalni biljni lek koji
se koristi kao ekspektorans kod kašlja udruženog sa prehladom.
Potvrđena primena majčine dušice je u tretmanu kašlja, bronhitisa i
upalnih procesa gornjih disajnih puteva. Snažnu antioksidativnu
aktivnost timijan duguje visokoj koncentraciji polifenolnih kiselina i
flavonoidima. Timol i karvakrol prisutni u etarskom ulju majčine dušice
inhibiraju lipidnu peroksidaciju i ispoljavaju antimikrobno dejstvo na
različite vrste mikroorganizama. Dugogodišnja tradicionalna primena
aromatičnih i lekovitih biljaka, pritisak potrošača da se toksični i
kancerogeni sintetski aditivi zamene prirodnim supstancama i pojava
multirezistentnih sojeva mikroorganizama povećavaju interes za
istraživanjem datih biljnih vrsta, što bi omogućilo njihovu širu primenu
u medicini, prehrambenoj, farmaceutskoj i kozmetičkoj industriji., The Lamiaceae family, which contains about 200 genus and 3000 species,
has a cosmopolitan distribution. Plants of this family are rich in essential oils and
phenol compounds. Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) is perennial, subshrub plant which
belongs to family of Labiates. Calyx and corolla are covered by dense gleaming
glands that eradiate essential oil. Leaves or herba, and essential oils are used.
Thymus serpyllum (Wild Thyme) is perennial, herbaceous plant. Leaves are
evergreen, small and oval. Commitee on Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC)
classifies thyme herba and essential oil as a traditional herbal medicine used as
expectorant in cough associated with cold. It is used in folk medicine to treat many
diseases, including respiratory disease (cough pertussis, bronchitis and asthma),
and has analgesic properties. Wild Thyme is approved for use in treatment of
cough and bronchitis. It is unproven to treat kidney and bladder disorders. It is also
used internally for dysmenorrheal, colic-like pain, and whooping cough. Thymol
and carvacrol from essential oils of Thyme and Wild Thyme inhibit lipid
peroxidation and manifest strong antimicrobial activity against different kinds of
microorganisms. All the aromatic and medicinal plants available worldwide have
been used for their preservative and medicinal values. Polyphenolic
phytochemicals in traditionally used medicinal plants act as powerful antioxidants,
which aroused an increasing interest in their application in functional food
development. Recently, there has been growing considerable interest in extracts
and essential oils of aromatic plants for the development of alternative food
additives, in order to prevent the growth of food-borne pathogens or to delay the
onset of food spoilage.",
