Chemoprophylactic and therapeutic efficacy of thymol in murine cystic echinococcosis
(Elsevier Ireland, 2015-10)
Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of the cestode Echinococcus granulosus. The drugs commonly used against cystic echinococcosis are benzimidazoles. Unfortunately, 20%-40% of cases do ...
Thymol enrichment from oregano essential oil by molecular distillation
(Elsevier Science, 2015-10)
The objectives of this study were to obtain fractions enriched in thymol by molecular distillation of oregano essential oil and to evaluate their antioxidant properties. In addition, this operation was modelled considering ...
Release and antioxidant activity of carvacrol and thymol from polypropylene active packaging films
(Elsevier Science, 2014-10)
The migration of antioxidant (AO) agents, carvacrol and thymol, from polypropylene (PP) packaging films containing the studied compounds at 80 g/kg separately and an equimolar mixture of them into food simulants was ...
Thymol supplementation effects on adrenocortical, immune and biochemical variables recovery in Japanese quail after exposure to chronic heat stress
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-02)
Chronic heat stress (CHS) exposure negatively impairs avian' immunoneuroendocrine interplay. Thymol has shown several bioactive properties including antioxidant, bactericidal, antifungal and gamma-aminobutyric acid modulator ...
Oil-In-Water Microemulsions for Thymol Solubilization
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-12)
Essential oil compounds (EOCs) are molecules with well-known antimicrobial and antipest activity. However, such molecules possess limited solubility in water, making their handling difficult. This work aimed to enhance the ...
Characterization and disintegrability under composting conditions of PLA-based nanocomposite films with thymol and silver nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2016-10-19)
Active nanocomposite films based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA), thymol and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were prepared and characterized. PLA films containing 6 and 8 wt% thymol and 1 wt% Ag-NPs were processed by extrusion ...
Dynamics of thymol dietary supplementation in quail (Coturnix japonica): Linking bioavailability, effects on egg yolk total fatty acids and performance traits
(Public Library of Science, 2019-05-09)
Phytogenic additives such as thymol are encountering growing interest in the poultry industry. However, there are still questions concerning dynamics of their bioavailability, biological action, optimal dosage and duration ...
Controlled release of thymol from poly(Lactic acid)-based silver nanocomposite films with antibacterial and antioxidant activity
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-05)
Thymol and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) were used to develop poly(lactic acid) (PLA)- based films with antioxidant and antibacterial performance. Different amounts of thymol (6 and 8 wt%) and 1 wt% Ag-NPs were added to ...
Thymol bioactivity: A review focusing on practical applications
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Thymol is a natural volatile monoterpenoid phenol that is the main active ingredient of oil extracted from species Thymus vulgaris L., commonly known as thyme, and other plants such as Ocimum gratissimum L., Origanum L., ...
