The objective of this work was to analyze the chemical composition of the essential oil of Centratherum punctatum Cass. leaves, cultivated in the Research Campus of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. The oil extraction was accomplished through the hydrodistillation method with the use of modified Clevenger. The extraction process occurred for 180 minutes. Compound identification and concentration quantification was performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The study identified 31 compounds. Trans-Caryophyllene was the predominant constituent, followed by Germacrene D, αHumulene and β-Cys-Farnesene. It is concluded that the research was successful, being possible to observe the presence of volatile compounds reported in the literature.
