Chemical analysis using GC\u2010FID and GC\u2010MS system revealed 28 constituents, representing 99\u2009% of total compounds. Oxygenated monoterpenes represented the highest proportion (79.79\u2009%), among which carvacrol (75.73\u2009%) was the predominant compound, followed by linalol (2.26\u2009%). Monoterpene hydrocarbons represented the second major fraction (16.29\u2009%): within them, the predominant constituents were \u03b3\u2010terpinene (5,55\u2009%), \u03c1\u2010cymene (5,50\u2009%), and \u03b2\u2010caryophyllene (2.73\u2009%). Antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH scavenging, \u03b2\u2010carotene bleaching inhibition, and ferric reducing power. <jats:italic>T. capitatus<\/jats:italic> revealed pronounced DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>=110.53\u2005\u03bcg\u2009mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>), strong ferric reducing ability (EC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>=644.4\u2005\u03bcg\u2009mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>), and a remarkable degree of protection against lipid peroxidation during \u03b2\u2010carotene bleaching inhibition (IC<jats:sub>50<\/jats:sub>=251.76\u2005\u03bcg\u2009mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup><jats:bold>)<\/jats:bold>. Antifungal activity was carried out against <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Aspergillus<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>Rhizopus<\/jats:italic> species by microdilution method. <jats:italic>T. capitatus<\/jats:italic> exhibited potent anticandidal activity (MIC=125\u2013500\u2005\u03bcg\u2009mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>) and strong inhibition against filamentous fungi (MIC=250\u2010500\u2005\u03bcg\u2009mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>). Its hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes had a low toxic effect at concentrations lower than 1250\u2005\u03bcg\u2009mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>.
