Composition chimique et activité antimicrobienne des huiles essentielles de Thymus capitatus et de Thymus bleicherianus du Maroc

RésuméCe travail vise l’étude de l’activité antibactérienne et antifongique et de la composition chimique des huiles essentielles de Thymus capitatus et de Thymus bleicherianus du Maroc. Les échantillons de Thymus capitatus ont fourni le rendement le plus élevé: 2,05 % contre 1,75 % pour Thymus bleicherianus. Les analyses chromatographiques (CG et CG/SM) ont montré que l’huile essentielle de Thymus capitatus contient le carvacrol (70,92 %) comme constituant majoritaire et que celle de Thymus bleicherianus est dominée par l’a-terpinène (42,20 %) et le thymol (23,90 %). L’activité antimicrobienne des deux huiles essentielles a été étudiée vis-à-vis de sept micro-organismes. Pour l’huile essentielle de Thymus capitatus, Bacillus subtilus et Penicillium expansum sont les plus sensibles, ils ont été inhibés à partir de 1/3000 v/v. Quant à l’huile essentielle de Thymus bleicherianus, toutes les souches bactériennes ont été inhibées à faible concentration de 1/2000 v/v. Cette bioactivité est due principalement à la richesse de ces essences en carvacrol et en thymol qui sont connus pour leur efficacité contre les agents microbiens. L’effet inhibiteur de ces huiles sur le développement bactérien et fongique laisse entrevoir des perspectives d’application dans les domaines de l’industrie alimentaire, cosmétique et pharmaceutique.AbstractThis work studies the chemical composition and antifungal and antibacterial activities of the essential oils of Moroccan Thymus capitatus and Thymus bleicherianus. The samples of Thymus capitatus provided the highest yield: 2.05 % as against 1.75% for Thymus bleicherianus. The chromatographic analyses (GC and GC/MS) showed that the main constituent of essential oil of Thymus capitatus is carvacrol (70.92 %), while essential oil of Thymus bleicherianus contains mainly α-terpinene (42.2%) and thymol (23.9%). Antimicrobial activity of the two essential oils was studied with respect to seven microorganisms. For essential oil of Thymus capitatus, Bacillus subtilus and Penicillium expansum were most sensitive, being inhibited as from 1/3000 v/v. As for essential oil of Thymus bleicherianus, however, all bacterial strains were inhibited at concentrations as weak as 1/2000 v/v. This bioactivity is due mainly to their high carvacrol and thymol content, substances known for their effectiveness against microbial agents. The inhibiting effect of these oils on bacterial and fungal development indicates their potential use in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
