Abstract

The essential oils of Brazilian Piper lepturum var. lepturum and Piper lepturum var. angustifolium (Piperaceae) were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by flame-detector gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS). According to GC and GC/MS analysis, the essential oils are mostly composed by sesquiterpenes hydrocarbons. β-Guaiene (29.96%) was the principal component in the essential oil of P. lepturum var. lepturum and β-Bisabolene (17.72%) was the principal components in the essential oil of P. lepturum var. angustifolium.
