Thymol

What Is Thymol Powder?

Thymol Powder is an isomer of carvacrol, which has antibacterial, antioxidant, insect repellent, and other biological activities. It is currently widely used in spices, preservatives, medical fungicides, insect repellents, and antioxidants. At the same time, it is expected to become a substitute for growth-promoting antibiotics in animal feed. In recent years, the good control effect of thymol on plant diseases and insect pests has been paid more and more attention. For example, the fungicide 3AEY (eugenol + geraniol + thymol) specifically targeting Botrytis cinerea has been registered for extended application in Spain and Greece. Thymol is easy to obtain, has stable chemical properties, low toxicity, low residue, and is easy to degrade in the environment. It meets the development requirements of biopesticides and has broad application prospects as a biopesticide.

Test Report

What Are The Benefits? 

Domestic studies on the mechanism of action of thymol active ingredients are mainly focused on antibacterial aspects, and there are few reports on insects, mites and nematodes. Compared with other active ingredients, due to the different molecular structure, the mechanism of action is different, but it is relatively similar in general. It is generally believed that thymol mainly acts on the membrane structure of cells, changing its permeability, causing the contents of cells to leak out, leading to the death of bacteria.

Antibacterial

A number of research results show that thymol powder mainly achieves the antibacterial purpose by destroying the cell structure of pathogenic bacteria, damaging the genetic material DNA, and affecting the metabolism and energy metabolism of microorganisms.

Insecticide

Thymol can kill insects, probably because it can increase the permeability of pest cell membranes, increase osmotic fragility, and at the same time, its high corrosiveness will also destroy the integrity of cell membranes. Treatment of C. elegans with thymol reduced the number of surviving offspring, which may also be due to damage to their gonads.

Research progress in disease control

The research on the prevention and treatment of plant diseases by thymol mainly focuses on a variety of fungal diseases, and there are relatively few reports on bacterial and viral diseases.

Application Direction

Mainly used to make spices, thymol is one of the 599 additives in cigarettes.

Thymol has multiple functions such as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and adding it to animal feed has positive effects on growth performance, intestinal flora and animal welfare. Long-term repeated inhalation of high-dose thymol showed no chronic toxicity. Therefore, thymol has attracted much attention in the field of animal feed production.

Thymol has a bactericidal effect and low toxicity. It has bactericidal and fungicidal effects on the oral cavity and throat mucous membranes, and has antiseptic and local anesthetic effects on carious cavities. otitis. It can promote the movement of tracheal cilia, which is beneficial to the secretion of tracheal mucus, and can easily act as an expectorant. It can also be used to treat bronchitis and whooping cough.
