Mentrasto, medicinal plant, essential oilAbstract
Specimens of Hyptis suavelens (L.) Poit, were cultivated in a greenhouse with aim to analyse the composition of the essential oil produced by this plant. The oils, obtained from leaves, stems and inflorecences by steam distillation, were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The inflorescence produced more oil than the leaves and stems. A total of 38 compounds were identified, being 16 (42,1%) monoterpenes, 13 (36,8%) sesquiterpenes, 6 (15,8%) alkanes, benzotiazole (2,6%) e one (2,6%) aromatic ketone. The sesquiterpenes -caryophyllene (10,39%) and spathulenol (13,30%) were present in higher yields in the leaves and steams, respectively. The monoterpene 1,8-cineole (27,47%) was the major compound present in the inflorescences essential oil.
