„Thymus zygis is used as a food source. It is used as a dried and fresh herb collected from the wild in Spain and Portugal. It is also a popular herb to cultivate and hybridize with other Thymus species due to its diverse aromatics. Thymus zygis is mostly used for the production of essential oils and is the main species used for thyme oil… Due to the high abundance of this species in the Iberian Peninsula, Spain is the dominant country producing essential oil from this species.“

„Variations in the essential oils of Thymus zygis ssp. sylvestris and T. zygis ssp. gracilis growing in southeastern Spain were examined. Some hybrids with other species of thyme were detected, and the chemical influence of both parentals was demonstrated. The most common chemotype was thymol, although a pure linalool chemotype was recorded.“

Oils obtained from Thymus zygis subsp. sylvestris were investigated by GC and GC-MS, and four chemotypes were characterized: carvacrol (25.0%), thymol (23.8%), geranyl acetate/geraniol (20.8% and 19.8%) and linalool (30.0%).
