The salts are dissolved in ethanol and mixed with essential oils high in eugenol and thymol ( such as thyme and clove oils ).

Thymol has a refractive index of 1.5208 and an experimental dissociation exponent ( pKa ) of 10.59 ?0.10.
33.
Za'atar uses large quantities of Thyme ( Thymus serpyllum ) which contains phenolic and antiseptic compounds including the essential oil and anthelmintic thymol.
34.
