ABSTRACT

Introduction: Myrcia guianensis, commonly known as guamirim, is a semi-shrubby species from the Brazilian Cerrado. The species grows large yearly inflorescences in white terminal panicles of a delicate scent, and small red to purple spherical fruits.
Objectives: evaluate the output and composition of the essential oil obtained from Myrcia guianensis flowers by GC / MS in an area from the Brazilian Cerrado.
Methods: the inflorescences were collected in the early morning hours, 100 g aliquots were weighed and extraction of the essential oil was performed by the Clevenger system. The essential oil was evaluated for output percentage and its chemical composition was analyzed by GC / MS.
Results: the essential oil from M. guianensis flowers was colorless and had an extraction output of 0.0697%. Gas chromatography obtained 42 volatile compounds, the most representative being methyl salicylate with 11.13%, geraniol 8.03%, eugenol 8.12%, aristolochene 4.89% and abieta-8,12-diene 7.25% of relative area.
Conclusion: chemical characterization of essential oil from M. guianensis flowers broadened the scope of studies about this species, being as it is a taxon not thoroughly studied. A large number of volatile compounds were obtained from the flowers, which may be used in a variety of ways in the pharmaceutical industry, agricultural supplies, bioengineering and food production.
