چکیده
The analysis by GC-MS, of the essential oil of the fruits from this species permitted the identification of nine chemical constituents, representing 86.99 % and having as majorities: trans β-ocimene (33.90 %), linalool (23.27 %) and undecanone (16.19 %). The essential oil was submitted to analysis for the verification of the antibacterial activity, by the method of diffusion in paper discs in Müller Hinton agar medium, where one bacteria were tested Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and four Gram negative (Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella flexneri and Salmonella choleraesuis), which demonstrated significant results. Assays for the verification of larvicidal activity were made with Aedes aegypti larvae with the oil being active.
