Abstract
The present study determined the volatile chemical components of the essential oils (EA) of the Melinis minutifloraand Lantana camaraspecies, by means of gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer, the species were collected in the cantons of Quilanga and Loja, the extraction was carried out by steam distillation. In the essential oil (EA) of M. minutiflora, 20 compounds were identified, representing 93.21%, the compounds in the highest concentration: 1-tetradecanol (16.30%), (E) -cariophylene (12.44%), germacrene D (10.99%), (E) -nerolidol (8.28%), δ-cadinene (5.61%), α-humulene (5.36%), viridiflorol (4.78%) and (Z) -β-farnesene (4.76%). In the AE of L. camara, 68 compounds were identified, representing 96.54%, the compounds with the highest concentration (E) -caryophyllene (15.46%), germacrene D (12.21%), α-humulene (9.92%), bicyclogermacrene (7.06%), γ-terpinene (5.97%) and germacrene B (4.66%). The species M. minutiflora and L. Camarahave repellent, acaricidal properties in adult larvae of Amblyomma cajennense and Rhipicephalus (Boophylus) microplus.
期刊介绍:
The Boletín Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Plantas Medicinales y Aromáticas (BLACPMA), [Latin American and Caribbean Bulletin of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants]; currently edited by the publishing house MS-Editions, is a bi-monthly international publication that publishes original peerreviewed research in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants, with nearly 20 years of experience. BLACPMA is a scientific journal that publishes two types of articles: Reviews (only in English) and Original Articles (Spanish or English), its main lines of action being agronomy, anthropology and ethnobotany, industrial applications, botany, quality and standardization, ecology and biodiversity, pharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacognosy, regulatory and legislative aspects. While all areas of medicinal plants are welcome and the experimental approaches used can be broad and interdisciplinary; other areas of research that are not mentioned depend on the Editorial Committee for their acceptance.
