Resumo
Several studies involving the family Verbenaceae, occurring in the Brazilian Cerrado, have emphasized the popular use of many
aromatic species. We highlight the use of Lippia sidoides Cham., known as “alecrim pimenta,” native to northeastern Brazil and
northern Minas Gerais. Leaves of this species were collected in antropized Brazilian Cerrado area, in Hidrolândia, Goiás, and
their essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus and thereafter analyzed GC/MS. Among the
compounds identified in this study were the most abundant oxygenated monoterpenes, followed by sesquiterpenes hydrocarbons.
The oxygenated monoterpene 1,8-cineole was the major constituent followed by isoborneol and bornyl acetate. The chemical
composition of essential oil described in this paper differs from that described in the literature for L. sidoides found in its native
environment, where the major constituents are thymol and carvacrol.
