Abstract. The fatty acids of chloroform extracts of Micromeria thymifolia
(Scop.) Fritsch and Micromeria albanica (Griseb. ex K. Malý) Šilić were
investigated. By GLC were identified 9 fatty acids and it was found that
unsaturated acids were prevailing compounds. It was also observed that
the major components are: palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids.
Key words: Micromeria thymifolia, Micromeria albanica, fatty
acids

GLC identifikovano je 9 masnih kiselina i utvrđeno da kod obe vrste preovlađuju
nezasićene kiseline. Najzastupljenije masne kiseline su: palmitinska, linolna
i linolenska.
