Volatile Constituents of Two Species of Protium from the Atlantic Rainforest in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil

Abstract: The chemical composition of the essential oils from Protium giganteum and P. aracouchine was determined, for the first time, using GC-MS analysis. From the oil of P. giganteum, 32 components were identified, representing 93.9% of the oil, and from P. aracouchine, 29 components, representing 97.8% of the oil. Among the compounds identified in the P. giganteum oil, 93.6% were sesquiterpenes, with β-caryophyllene (26.0 ± 0.8%), globulol (9.3 ± 0.2%), α-cadinol (7.0 ± 0.5%), α-humulene (6.4 ± 0.1%) and germacrene … Show more

“…Previous works with fresh resin collected in the Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve showed high levels of limonene, which were detected in P. hebetatum (31.80-14.95%; Lima et al, 2016), P. strumosum (75.5%; Zoghbi et al, 2005), and P. spruceanum (90.93%) collected at the INPA campus (Lima et al, 2014). The comparison with essential oils from P. aracouchini leaves from Brazilian Northeast the difference of chemical profile of the volatile constituents was evidenced (Freitas et al, 2011, Souza et al, 2015.…”
