The collection of plants grown in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden is an inexhaustible source of plant resources. One such resource species is Thymus vulgaris L. Being a perennial, the species is traditionally used as an aromatic, essential oil and medicinal plant. Thyme herb is described as a medicinal raw material in many pharmacopoeias. Essential oil and phenolic compounds, which are considered the main active ingredients of this raw material, are a source of antiviral, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other therapeutically significant activities of drugs created on its basis. The purpose of the presented research was to study the essential oil and develop some indicators of the quality of raw materials (herbs) of the new essential oil variety Thymus vulgaris cv. ‘Fantasiya’ cultivated in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. As a result of the study, it was found that this variety of thyme allows to get 40 kg of essential oil per hectare, with a high content of the main components - thymol and carvacrol. Some indicators of the raw materials quality, as well as the qualitative composition of the essential oil and the quantitative content of the components identified in it, were determined.
