| Sumario: |
Among the secondary metabolites from plant diversity, essential oils are noted for
their easy extraction and purification, as well as being potential sources of useful
products to domestic and industrial level. The composition of the essential oil of the
same plant species can be diverse and dependent of environmental factors associated
with development of itself, resulting in different chemotypes, being important to
investigate the correlation between essential oil composition and environmental
variables of growth plants.
Amazon tree cinnamon or Ishpink (Ocotea quixos) is a native plant to the eastern
region of Ecuador, its distribution and growth in different environmental conditions
can lead to the generation of chemotypes, which may be lost due to deforestation in
the area. This study focused on the search and identification of O. quixos chemotypes
through the characterization of its leaves’ essential oil composition. It was necessary
to make georeferencing of each leaves and soil collected sample and bioclimatic data
record. Soil, essential oil composition by GCMS and Multivariate statistical analysis
was performed in order to determine whether there is a relationship between
environmental factors and essential oil chemical variation. The results show that
there is variation in the essential oil chemical composition of several plants collected
in different locations, which indicates the existence of chemotypes and therefore a
likelihood of association of the composition of essential oil to environmental factors |
