“…This compound is one of the main constituents of the essential oil from guava leaves from various countries such as China (18.8%), Cuba (21.6%), Nigeria (21.3%), Taiwan (27.7%) (Lie et al, 1999;Ogunwande et al, 2003;Chen et al, 2007). It is also found in Psidium myrsinoides as 19.7% (Freitas et al, 2002), Psidium salutare as 39.8% (Pino et al, 2003), Psidium striatulum as 7.6% (da Silva et al, 2003) and Psidium guajava fruit as 5.1% (Paniandy et al, 2000). This compound has been associated with antifungal activity against dermatophytes (Yang et al, 2000), has antimicrobial (de Souza et al, 2004;Brighteni et al, 2008) analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity (Chavan et al, 2010) and shows anti caries activity in rats (Menezes et al, 2010).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the essential oil composition of Psidium cattleianum var. lucidum from South Africa. The essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation and the components were identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil. A total of 53 chemical components were identified, accounting for 61% of the essential oil. The major component was caryophyllene oxide (12.43%), while other predominant constituents were identified as bicyclo(4.4.0)dec-l-ene (6.61%), 2,3-butanediol diacetate (4.84%) and patchoulene (4.73%). The presence of many terpenic and ester compounds is thought to contribute to the unique flavor of the P. cattleianum var. lucidum leaves.

“…The essential oils of Psidium species are rich in mono- and sesquiterpenes compounds arranged according their biosynthetic pathways [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The C 10 -skeletal monoterpenes are grouped in acyclic, p -menthane, pinane, bornane/camphane, thujane, and carane types, and the C 15 -skeletal sesquiterpenes are arranged as acyclic, cadinane, caryophyllane, eudesmane, germacrane, aromadendrene, and bisabolane types [ 26 , 27 ] (see Figure 4 A,B and Appendix B ).…”

“…Psidium myrtoides (syn. Psidium myrsinoides Berg) occur in all Brazilian territory, and it is commonly known as ‘araçá-de-veado’ (deer aracá) or just ‘araçá’ [ 23 , 30 , 91 ]. In folk medicine, as other ‘araçá’ species, P. myrtoides is also used to treat diarrhea [ 92 ].…”

Psidium (Myrtaceae) comprises approximately 266 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Psidium taxa have great ecological, economic, and medicinal relevance due to their essential oils’ chemical diversity and biological potential. This review reports 18 Psidium species growing around the world and the chemical and biological properties of their essential oils. Chemically, 110 oil records are reported with significant variability of volatile constituents, according to their seasonality and collection sites. Monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes with acyclic (C10 and C15), p-menthane, pinane, bisabolane, germacrane, caryophyllane, cadinane, and aromadendrane skeleton-types, were the primary constituents. The essential oils showed various biological activities, including antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, phytotoxic, larvicidal, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic properties. This review contributes to the Psidium species rational and economic exploration as natural sources to produce new drugs.

“…For example, the oil from four species from the Amazon rainforest (Psidium acutangulum DC., P. striatulum DC., P. guineense Sw. and P. guajava L.) showed yields between 0.1% and 0.8% (15). In the Cerrado, the species Psidium myrsinoides O. Berg, a close related species of P. myrsinites presented an yield of 0.4% (16).…”

The chemical profile of the essential oil obtained from leaves and inflorescences of Psidium myrsinites DC. (Myrtaceae) growing wildly in the Brazilian Cerrado was analyzed by GC/FID and CG/MS. The essential oil had a slimy and translucent appearance. The oil yield was 0.1% and the main components were oxygenated sesquiterpenes (68.2%) and non-oxygenated sesquiterpenes (18.3%). Caryophyllene oxide (26.1%), humulene epoxide II (8.8%), β-caryophyllene (7.4%) and α-caryophyllene (5.4%) were the major compounds. It is worth to notice that the most abundant substances have very close structures. The oil yield and composition was very similar to other species belonging to the same genus.
