Abstract

The chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Hedeoma mandoniana Wedd. grown in Cuzco was studied. A total of 125 volatile compounds were identified in the essential oil, of which the most prominent were pulegone (35.3%), trans-menthone (9.8%) and limonene (9.2%). The essential oil had a low radical-scavenging activity determined by the ABTS method.
