Abstract
Thymus quinquecostatus Celak. (TQC) has high antioxidant activity. To identify the functional compounds, TQC was extracted as essential oils and an ethanol (EtOH) extract. TQC essential oils and EtOH extract was extracted via steam distillation and heat reflux extractor, respectively. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of TQC essential oils revealed that thymol, o-cymene, linalool, and γ-terpinene contributed approximately 57% of the total composition of TQC. High-performance liquid chromatography/photodiode array revealed that caffeic acid (CA) and rosmarinic acid (RA) were associated with the antioxidant activity of TQC. Moreover, 2,2
