RUIZ, Candy; DIAZ, Camilo  and  ROJAS, Rosario. Chemical composition of essential oils from 10 peruvian aromatic plants. Rev. Soc. Quím. Perú [online]. 2015, vol.81, n.2, pp.81-94. ISSN 1810-634X.

With the aim of discovering essential oils that could be used as attractants or repellents of Thrips tabaci, an insect that affects asparagus, we report here the chemical composition of essential oils obtained from 10 Peruvian aromatic plants: Jungia paniculata (DC.) A. Gray, Piper hispidum Sw., Ambrosia arborescens Mill., Ambrosia peruviana Willd., Luma chequen (Feuillée ex Molina) A. Gray., Minthostachys setosa (Briq.) Epling, Lepechinia meyenii (Walp.) Epling, Ruta chalepensis L., Ruta graveolens L., Aristolochia silvatica Barb. Rod. Chemical composition of essential oils from J. paniculata ("Matico de la sierra"), A. peruviana ("Marco hembra"), L. meyenii ("Pachasalvia") and A. silvatica ("Huampishcuna") are reported here for the first time.

Keywords : Aromatic plants; essential oils; gas chromatography; Perú.
