Description
The tree Persea povedae W. C. Burguer, grows in wild form in Costa Rica. The analyses to determine the composition of the essential oils that are extracted from the branches and leaves of the tree were effected by means of gas chromatography technique in capillary column, using Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Hundred and ten (110) compounds were identified. The major constituents of the branches are: α-pinene (7,7%), linalool (7,6%), espathulenol (5,1%), α-copaene (4,8), dodecanal (4,4%), Ε-9-dodecenal (4,1%), β -pinene (3,2%), γ-muurolene (3,1%) and α-cadinene (3,0%). The main constituents of the leaves are: Ε-nerolidol (14,6%), pentadecanoic acid (ca. 14%), longipinanol (5,1%), linalool (4,5%), γ-muurolene (3,8%) y espathulenol (3,8%). (author)

El arbol Persea povedae W. C. Burguer, crece en forma silvestre en Costa Rica. Los analisis para determinar la composicion de los aceites esenciales que se extraen de las ramas y de las hojas del arbol se efectuaron mediante la tecnica de cromatografia de gases en columna capilar, empleando Detectores de Ionizacion de Llama (FID) y de espectrometria de masas (GC/MS). Ciento diez (110) compuestos fueron identificados. Los constituyentes mayoritarios de las ramas son: α-pineno (7,7%), linalol (7,6%), espatulenol (5,1%), α-copaeno (4,8%), dodecanal (4,4%), Ε-9-dodecenal (4,1%), β -pineno (3,2%), γ-muuroleno (3,1%) y α-cadineno (3,0%).
