The extraction yield was about 3.5 ± 0.1% (v/w) , which is higher than those found by Haddouchi et al. 2009 and Mohammedi et al. 2010 (2%, 3.09% respectively), for the same species of thyme harvested in Mostaganem province and Tlemcen area (Algeria). Furthermore, it was higher than that obtained from other species of thyme from Algeria considered as economically important for essential oils production, such as Thymus lanceolatus with 0.9% (Khadir et al. 2013) and Thymus dreatensis with 2.1% (Ferhat et al. …show more content…
