The antioxidant activity of essential oil of Thymus serpyllum was determined by using DMPD/ferric chloride assay. The purple colored cation was formed by the oxidation of N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DMPD) with 0.05 M solution of ferric chloride. The purple colored radical cation obtained was decolorized by the antioxidants present in Thymus serpyllum oil. The antioxidant value of Thymus serpyllum oil was then measured by its ability to inhibit the color intensity of DMPD radical cation. It was also observed that the antioxidant value of Thymus serpyllum oil decreased with the passage of time.
