Thymol acetate is a phenolic monoterpene ester made from acetic acid and thymol. It
is widely acknowledged that acetylation reduces the toxicity associated with thymol.
Hence, thymol acetate is a more powerful and safer substitute for thymol. In fact,
scientists recently established that both carvarcyl and thymol esters show higher
antifungal activity than their phenolic analogs (Wang, K., et. al., Natural Product
Research, Vol 33, 2019, Issue 10,
https://doi.org/10.1080/14786419.2017.1419232). Due to its safety, thymol acetate
find uses as an antifungal, antimold, antibacterial, antioxidant, and disinfectant in
household cleaners.
