Jacques Sorci, the executive chef for the Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park, buys small, sweet onions from an organic farm in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, and cooks and pickles them a la gtecque in chicken stock, white wine vinegar, bay leaves and fresh thyme, to serve as a garnish for gibsons at Rise, the hotel s bar.That s so what. 

In a phenol, a hydroxyl group is attached directly to an aromatic ring. The parent compound, phenol itself, Cr,HsOH (4), is a white, crystalline, molecular solid. It was once obtained from the distillation of coal tar, but now it is mainly synthesized from benzene. Many substituted phenols occur naturally, some being responsible for the fragrances of plants. They are often components of essential oils, the oils that can be distilled from flowers and leaves. Thymol (5), for instance, is the active ingredient of oil of thyme, and eugenol (6) provides most of the scent and flavor of oil of cloves.

Fractions from essential oils of eucalyptus, rosemary and oreganum can be used to compound a commercial white thyme oil. 

White thyme is not complete or natural, but is usually an adulterated and compounded oil made up of fractions of pine oils, rosemary, eucalyptus and red thyme, or it may be origanum with p-cymene, pinene, limonene and caryophyllene. 

The GC analysis (Fig. 7.7) shows a commercial white thyme with a high percentage of the phenols thymol (55.8%) and carvacrol (2.07%). This contrasts with that of sweet thyme (Fig. 7.8) with no phenolic compounds present and alcohols terpineol-4 (13%), a-terpineol (12.37%) and bomeol (5.95%) making up a total of 31.34% for this particular sample.

Thymol occurs as colorless or often large translucent crystals, or as a white crystalline powder with a herbal odor (aromatic and thyme-like) and a pungent caustic taste. 

Protection Offered Thfe essential oils of sage and thyme and the alcohol extracts of such herbs as hyssop, rosemary, sage, thyme, and white clover can be used to reduce the number of pest eggs laid and the amount of feeding damage caused by a broad range of pests.

All the materials tested were effective with the exception of boronia (Figure 4). Eucalyptus induced a 93% mortality, while cypress gave 90%, camphor 83% (Figure 2[10]), spearmint 78%, white thyme 75%, pheasant grass 50%, sassafras 50%, anethole (Figure 2[11]) 35%, red thyme 34%, and aniseed 28% (P < 0.05). It is interesting to note the disparity between white thyme and red thyme which indicates that either there is a significant increase in one bioactive compound in one cultivar versus the other, or that a specific ratio of compounds in the mixture is more effective than another. 

In comparing the results of Ae two sets of experiments, it will be seen that red thyme was 41% less effective against LBAM than white thyme and in controlling Flour Beetle there was, in comparison, a 65% difference between the two botanical cultivars. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the essential oils drops off rapidly so that only eucalyptus, camphor, and white thyme may be considered as useful canidates. Oddly, black pepper was inactive in these assays, while in earlier work certain components of this commodity have been shown to have strong insecticidal properties. The earliest report being in 1943 (12), which was followed not only by later reports of insecticidal...

Thyme oil, racZ ctiid white, distilled from the green or dried herb, Thymus vulp aris, both Prench and Spanish oils being met with. These oils are entirely different in character. 

The white thyme oil is produced by rectifying the red oil, which is generally effected, at the expense of a considerable reduction in phenol content, aiad Ixence in real odour value of the oil. 

Thyme oil is obtained from the fresh flowering aerial parts of Thymus vulgaris L. and T. zygis Loefl. (shrubs, Lamiaceae) with the yield of 0.5-1.2%. Two kinds of oil are known red (dark reddish-brown with crude strong, aromatic flavor) and white (redistilled, yellow of milder odor). The oil is used as an agent in seasoning blends and in traces in many flavors, e.g. of mandarin and orange. 

It is worth to note that both bacteriostatic and bactericidal concentrations of white thyme oil against E. coli (625 and 1,250 ttI/1, respectively) were two times lower than that of red thyme oil (Burt and Reinders 2003).
