AUTHOR(S): Juan Concha, Lohengrin A. Cavieres, Gastón J. Sotes & VÃctor Hernández
ABSTRACT:We report the chemical composition of the essential oils from fresh leaves of Baccharis linearis and Baccharis paniculata collected in San Carlos de Apoquindo, Chile. The essential oils were isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The major constituents in both species were monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, representing the 84.47% and 90.36% of the total essential oil of B. linearis and B. paniculata respectively. In both species, β-pinene and limonene were the main compounds.
