该属包括约350种多年生芳香草本植物和亚灌木，原产于欧洲和北非。各种类型的百里香在地球仪上被用作调味品、香料和精油的来源。百里香精油（从其叶子中蒸馏而得）是世界十大精油之一，具有抗菌、抗霉菌、抗氧化、食品防腐和哺乳动物延缓衰老的特性。由于其应用范围广泛，对百里香油的需求正在增长;因此百里香在不断扩大的世界市场中占有重要地位。百里香的商业供应主要来自欧洲国家，但最近这种需求的增加导致了新的耐寒，高产品种正在开发的商业栽培在加拿大和北美。这一全面的卷涵盖了生物学，栽培，药理学，化学和工业加工的所有方面的属Thumb。这是最新的概述目前的知识在百里香的使用，并将是一个宝贵的参考来源，那些有兴趣在药用植物，天然产物，制药，生药学和农学。
The genus Thymus consists of about 350 species of perennial, aromatic herbs and subshrubs native to Europe and North Africa. Various types of thyme are used all over the globe as condiments, ornamentals and sources of essential oil. Thyme oil (distilled from its leaves) is among the world's top ten essential oils, displaying antibacterial, antimycotic, antioxidative, food preservative and mammalian age-delaying properties. Because of the wide variety of its applications, the demand for thyme oil is growing; hence thyme commands an important place in an expanding world market. Commercial supply of thyme originates mainly from European countries, but recently this 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. It 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.
