Abstract

America and Australia are known to be the natural habitat of the family Myrtaceae. Six essential oils from species grown in Cuba of this family: Mithrantes ottonis Berg., Myrcianthes fragrans (Sw) McVaugh., Pimenta adenoclada (Urb.) Burrett., Pimenta racemosa (Miller) J. W. Moore, var. racemosa, Psidium rotundatum Griseb. and Psidium salutare (HBK) Berg., collected in the west region of Cuba, were analyzed by capillary Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Some of their species are endemic from Cuba (Mit. ottonis, P, adenoclada, Psi. rotundatum). Oil yields were 0,6; 1,4; 1,0; 5,0; 3,0 and 1,0 and a total of 25, 21, 33, 26, 47 and 34 volatile compounds were identified, respectively. Many of them are reported for the first time.
