Algunas consideraciones acerca de la composición química del aceite esencial de Lantana camara L. presente en Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
The essential oil obtained from leaves of Lantana camara L. in Cuba was analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. The oil was characterized by a high percentage of sesquiterpenes. The major components were: (E)-nerolidol (43,4%), g-cadinene (7,6%), a-humulene (4,9%) and b-caryophyllene (4,8%). According to the results obtained, the species studied could be a new chemotype.
