Factors Influencing the Production and Chemical Composition of Essential Oils in Aromatic Plants from Brazil

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Essential Oil Research

Abstract

Medicinal and aromatic plants are plants rich in specialized metabolites, mainly the essential oils, which have several functions in plant species and have biological activity. The chemical composition of these oils is influenced by biotic, abiotic, and genetic factors. The species of the families Lamiaceae (Mentha x piperita L, Ocimum selloi, Ocimum basilicum, Origanum vulgare , and Thymus vulgaris), Asteraceae (Lychnophora ericoides, Lychnophora pinaster, and Baccharis dracunculifolia), and Boraginaceae ( Varronia curassavica ) have essential oils with important biological activities influenced by the conditions of the environment. Other species studied by researchers around the world also reveal essential oils and biological activities with varying potentials.
