- Substance
Thyme oil appears as an amber to reddish-brown liquid with a characteristic herbaceous odor. It has a density of approximately 0.917 g/mL at 20°C, indicating it is less dense than water. The boiling point of thyme oil is around 230°C, and it is soluble in alcohol and oils but insoluble in water. The refractive index is typically around 1.490, and the flash point is approximately 40°C, highlighting its flammable nature. The oil has a strong aromatic profile, which is attributed to its high concentration of volatile compounds, primarily thymol and carvacrol.
