The essential oil of Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Br. collected in Ilheus was extracted by hydrodistillation for one hour using a Clevenger apparatus. The average yield was 0.16%. Twenty four compounds were identified by GC and GC-MS analysis. Citral was the main components of the oil (70.6-79.0%). Linalool (1.7-2.2%), geraniol (0.8-2.9%), nerol (0.5-2.5%) and β-myrcene (0.3-2.6%) were identified in low percentage. Lippia alba gave a higher yield of oil during spring.
