Thymol protects and significantly increase the percentage of healthy fats in cell membranes and other cell structures. In particular, it increases the amount of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid) in brain, kidney, and heart cells. Thyme also contains a variety of flavonoids, including apigenin, naringenin, luteolin, and thymonin. These flavonoids increase thyme's antioxidant capacity, and combined with its manganese, make thyme a powerful antioxidant food. Fresh thyme also contains the antioxidant carotenoids alpha and beta carotene, monoterpenes, phenolic acids, and hydrocinnamic acids.Kill pathogens: The volatile oil components of thyme have antimicrobial activity against many bacteria and fungi, inclucing Staphalococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Shigella sonnei. For thousands of years, herbs and spices have been used to help preserve foods and protect them from microbial contamination. Both thyme and basil contain substances that can both prevent contamination and decontaminate foods. Thyme essential oil can decontaminate lettuce inoculated with Shigella, an infectious organism that triggers diarrhea and may cause significant intestinal damage. In addition, washing produce in solution containing either basil or thyme essential oil at the very low concentration of just 1% resulted in dropping the number of Shigella bacteria below the point at which they could be detected. Thymol inhibits the ability of E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus to adhere to human cells, disrupts the bacterial cell wall and causes the cytoplasm to leak out, and is used to treat hookworms and other parasites. Carvacrol is effective against a variety of bacteria and fungi. It makes sense to include thyme and basil in more of your recipes, particularly for foods that are eaten raw.
