This thesis deals with the determination of carvacrol, thymol, and eugenol by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Carbon paste electrode and boron doped diamond film electrode were used as the working electrodes. For the comparison, UV spectrophotometric detection at 275 nm was used besides the electrochemical detection. The separation was performed on LiChroCART 125-4, RP-18e (5 µm) column. Optimum separation conditions were found: mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and acetate buffer in ratio 50:50, the optimum buffer pH was pH 5. The optimum potential of working electrode during electrochemical detection was +0,8 V and +1,2 V for carbon paste electrode and boron doped diamond film electrode, respectively. For both electrodes, repeatability of the measurement was examined; the surface of both electrodes had to be renewed between the measurements. Under the obtained optimum conditions, calibration dependences were measured. The studied substances were determined in real samples, in Thymus vulgaris L. and Achillea millefolium L. and in thyme-containing tea and syrup.
