Identificación y cuantificación de componentes en el aceite esencial de eucalipto eucalyptus globulus labil a través de cromatografía de gases.

Abstract

Eucalyptus is a plant that over time has had a strong impact on the medicinal aspect due to its compounds that stand out in its essential oil, the same one that helps us in cold processes by acting as a decongestant and opening the pathways respiratory. It is used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory, reducing muscle pain, and also as an antiseptic. In the present work, a bibliographic review on therapeutic uses and the application of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was carried out to identify and quantify the components present in the essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus Labil. The information was collected on various scientific pages such as: Scielo, Redalyc, Sciencedirect, Scholar Google. In which it was possible to demonstrate that these instrumental techniques have several advantages in terms of the identification of components, it was possible to demonstrate that it is one of the most recommended for its effectiveness with respect to quantification and identification, as well as the retention time of metabolites. of therapeutic interest. In the extraction yields by the GC-MS analytical method, the most outstanding compounds were eucalyptus, α-pinene, α-terp,ineol, main components of different types of eucalyptus oils that were part of the evidence of the correct analytical method.
