The aim of this study was to perform chemical characterization of Lippia alba accessions from the Active Germplasm Bank ofthe Federal University of Sergipe A randomized block experimental design with two replications was applied The analysis of thechemical composition of the essential oils was conducted using a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometerThe chemicalcomposition of the essential oils allowed the accessions to be allocated to the following six groups group 1 linalool 18-cineoleand caryophyllene oxide group 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyllene oxide group 3 limonene carvone andsabinene group 4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5 neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6geranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
1 Introduction
TheVerbenaceae family consists of approximately 175 generaand 2800 species distributed in tropical and subtropicalregions worldwide and in temperate regions of the southernhemisphere In addition a few species are found in temperateregions of the northern hemisphere [1] The genus Lippiaincludes several plant species of medicinal interest and com-prises approximately 200 shrub species with a pantropicaldistribution and approximately 150 species distributed acrossrupestrian grasslands and tropical savannas (cerrados) inBrazil [2] The species Lippia alba (Mill) NE Brown alsoknown as Lippia geminata HBK and Lantana alba (Mill)is a shrub with a height of approximately 3 meters [3]In traditional Brazilian medicine this species is popularlyknown as lemon balm [4]
This species is considered by some authors [5] to bepromising for use in the pharmaceutical aromatic and
perfumery industries and may also be suitable for theagricultural chemical industry because of its proven antifun-gal insecticidal and repellent properties The essential oilobtained from L alba has been recognized as a potentialsource of several commercially important terpenoid com-pounds [6]
The chemical composition of essential oils consists ofa mixture of many organic compounds in various concen-trations ranging from very low quantities (traces) to majorcompounds Therefore the variability of chemical types is acause for concern from the standpoint of the use of essentialoils as herbal medicines because some compounds maybe unsuitable for achieving a desired result This problemregarding medicinal plants is common in Brazil [7]
Essential oils are primarily produced by the plant leavesand are formed through the secondary metabolism of plantsThe typical compounds of this type include mono- andsesquiterpenes Both the oil composition and plant yield

including biomass are directly influenced by environmentalfactors which represent a challenge for producers in estab-lishing productive and stable genotypes and maintaining thechemical uniformity demanded by the industry [5]
The rich pharmacological potential of L alba is relatedto the wide chemical variability of its essential oils Thisvariability allows the classification of this species into chemo-types which can be defined according to the major chemicalcomponents of the essential oils [8]The essential oils of somechemotypes identified from L alba differ in their chemicalcomposition with citral carvone and linalool representingthe major components identified [9] The limonene-carvonechemotype is characterized by the presence of limoneneand carvone and the absence of neral and geranial (citral)Limonene is used as a solvent in cleaning products food-stuffs and the cosmetics industry Carvone is used as acarminative and in cosmetic products and has bactericidaland fungicidal properties [10]
The degree of variability in the active ingredient foundin a medicinal species should be very low so that thedrugs produced from that species are safe and effective[8] Therefore the identification and correct classificationof chemotypes which exhibit distinct active ingredients inmedicinal plants are of great importance for maintainingquality planning cultivation and obtaining phytochemicalsthat do not impair usersrsquo health [11]
Thus the aim of this study was to perform chemicalcharacterization of accessions of L alba (Mill) NE Br fromthe Active Germplasm Bank (AGB) of the Federal Universityof Sergipe
2 Materials and Methods
21 Plant Materials The experiment was conducted at theldquoCampus Rural da UFSrdquo experimental farm located in themunicipality of Sao Cristovao state of Sergipe at a latitudeof 11∘001015840 S and longitude of 37∘121015840 W Plants of 48 accessionsof L alba from the AGB at UFS were evaluated (Table 1)
A randomized block experimental design with two repli-cations was employed Each plot consisted of three plantsSpacing of 15 meters was maintained both between indi-vidual plants and between rows The fertilization applied inthe field was 5 kg of cattle manure per pit Culture practicessuch as weeding and hydration were performed whenevernecessary
22 Distillation andAnalysis of Essential Oils Theplantswerecut at a height of 30 cm from the soil and the leaves weredried in an incubator with forced airflow at a temperature of40∘C for five days [12] After drying the leaves were weighedon an electronic scale and essential oils were extracted usingthe hydrodistillation method in a Clevenger apparatus Forhydrodistillation 75 g of dry leaves and 20 L of distilledwater were used per flask and the distillation period was 120minutes after the initiation ofwater vapor condensation in theClevenger apparatus After extraction the essential oils werecollected and stored in a freezer in amber glass vials
Chemical analysis of the essential oil was performed atthe Laboratory of Chromatography of the Department ofChemistry at the Federal University of Sergipe
Qualitative analysis of the chemical composition of theessential oil was performed in a gas chromatograph cou-pled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS model QP 5050AShimadzu) equipped with an AOC-20i autosampler (Shi-madzu) and a fused-silica capillary column (5 phenyl 95dimethylpolysiloxane 30m times 025mm id and film thick-ness of 025 120583m JampW Scientific) using helium as the carriergas at a flow rate of 12mLminminus1 The temperature rampwas 50∘C for 2min followed by an increase of 4∘Cminminus1until reaching 200∘C then an increase of 15∘C until reaching300∘C afterwhich a constant temperaturewasmaintained for15min The injector temperature was maintained at 250∘Cand that of the detector (or interface) was maintained at280∘C A volume of 05120583L was injected using ethyl acetateThe partition rate of the injected volume was 1 100 and thecolumn pressure was 6420 kPa The MS conditions includedan ion capture detector operated through electron impact andan impact energy of 70 eV a scan rate of 1000 a scan intervalof 050 fragments and a fragmentmass range between 40Daand 500Da
Quantitative analysis of the chemical constituents wasperformed by flame ionization gas chromatography (FID)using a Shimadzu GC-17A (Shimadzu Corporation KyotoJapan) instrument under the following operational condi-tions capillary ZB-5MS column (5 phenyl-arylene-95-dimethylpolysiloxane) fused-silica capillary column (30m times025mm id times 025120583m film thickness) from Phenomenex(Torrance CA USA) under the same conditions as reportedfor the GC-MS Quantification of each constituent was esti-mated by area normalization () Compound concentrationswere calculated from the GC peak areas and they werearranged in order of GC elution
The essential oil components were identified by com-paring their mass spectra with the available spectra in theequipment database (NIST05 and WILEY8) Additionallythe measured retention indices were compared with those inthe literature [13] The relative retention indices (RRI) weredetermined using the van den Dool and Kratz [14] equationand a homologous series of 119899-alkanes (C
8ndashC18) injected
under the chromatography conditions described above
23 Statistical Analysis The data were subjected to varianceanalysis and themeans were compared using the Scott-Knotttest (119901 le 005)The chemical composition data were analyzedthrough twomultivariate analysismethods principal compo-nent analysis (PCA) and arrangement analysis (cluster) basedon the similarity and distribution of the compounds usingStatistica software version 70
3 Results and Discussion
Among the compounds present in the essential oils from 48accessions 33 were identified and are listed according to theirorder of elution (Table 2)

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

including biomass are directly influenced by environmentalfactors which represent a challenge for producers in estab-lishing productive and stable genotypes and maintaining thechemical uniformity demanded by the industry [5]
The rich pharmacological potential of L alba is relatedto the wide chemical variability of its essential oils Thisvariability allows the classification of this species into chemo-types which can be defined according to the major chemicalcomponents of the essential oils [8]The essential oils of somechemotypes identified from L alba differ in their chemicalcomposition with citral carvone and linalool representingthe major components identified [9] The limonene-carvonechemotype is characterized by the presence of limoneneand carvone and the absence of neral and geranial (citral)Limonene is used as a solvent in cleaning products food-stuffs and the cosmetics industry Carvone is used as acarminative and in cosmetic products and has bactericidaland fungicidal properties [10]
The degree of variability in the active ingredient foundin a medicinal species should be very low so that thedrugs produced from that species are safe and effective[8] Therefore the identification and correct classificationof chemotypes which exhibit distinct active ingredients inmedicinal plants are of great importance for maintainingquality planning cultivation and obtaining phytochemicalsthat do not impair usersrsquo health [11]
Thus the aim of this study was to perform chemicalcharacterization of accessions of L alba (Mill) NE Br fromthe Active Germplasm Bank (AGB) of the Federal Universityof Sergipe
2 Materials and Methods
21 Plant Materials The experiment was conducted at theldquoCampus Rural da UFSrdquo experimental farm located in themunicipality of Sao Cristovao state of Sergipe at a latitudeof 11∘001015840 S and longitude of 37∘121015840 W Plants of 48 accessionsof L alba from the AGB at UFS were evaluated (Table 1)
A randomized block experimental design with two repli-cations was employed Each plot consisted of three plantsSpacing of 15 meters was maintained both between indi-vidual plants and between rows The fertilization applied inthe field was 5 kg of cattle manure per pit Culture practicessuch as weeding and hydration were performed whenevernecessary
22 Distillation andAnalysis of Essential Oils Theplantswerecut at a height of 30 cm from the soil and the leaves weredried in an incubator with forced airflow at a temperature of40∘C for five days [12] After drying the leaves were weighedon an electronic scale and essential oils were extracted usingthe hydrodistillation method in a Clevenger apparatus Forhydrodistillation 75 g of dry leaves and 20 L of distilledwater were used per flask and the distillation period was 120minutes after the initiation ofwater vapor condensation in theClevenger apparatus After extraction the essential oils werecollected and stored in a freezer in amber glass vials
Chemical analysis of the essential oil was performed atthe Laboratory of Chromatography of the Department ofChemistry at the Federal University of Sergipe
Qualitative analysis of the chemical composition of theessential oil was performed in a gas chromatograph cou-pled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS model QP 5050AShimadzu) equipped with an AOC-20i autosampler (Shi-madzu) and a fused-silica capillary column (5 phenyl 95dimethylpolysiloxane 30m times 025mm id and film thick-ness of 025 120583m JampW Scientific) using helium as the carriergas at a flow rate of 12mLminminus1 The temperature rampwas 50∘C for 2min followed by an increase of 4∘Cminminus1until reaching 200∘C then an increase of 15∘C until reaching300∘C afterwhich a constant temperaturewasmaintained for15min The injector temperature was maintained at 250∘Cand that of the detector (or interface) was maintained at280∘C A volume of 05120583L was injected using ethyl acetateThe partition rate of the injected volume was 1 100 and thecolumn pressure was 6420 kPa The MS conditions includedan ion capture detector operated through electron impact andan impact energy of 70 eV a scan rate of 1000 a scan intervalof 050 fragments and a fragmentmass range between 40Daand 500Da
Quantitative analysis of the chemical constituents wasperformed by flame ionization gas chromatography (FID)using a Shimadzu GC-17A (Shimadzu Corporation KyotoJapan) instrument under the following operational condi-tions capillary ZB-5MS column (5 phenyl-arylene-95-dimethylpolysiloxane) fused-silica capillary column (30m times025mm id times 025120583m film thickness) from Phenomenex(Torrance CA USA) under the same conditions as reportedfor the GC-MS Quantification of each constituent was esti-mated by area normalization () Compound concentrationswere calculated from the GC peak areas and they werearranged in order of GC elution
The essential oil components were identified by com-paring their mass spectra with the available spectra in theequipment database (NIST05 and WILEY8) Additionallythe measured retention indices were compared with those inthe literature [13] The relative retention indices (RRI) weredetermined using the van den Dool and Kratz [14] equationand a homologous series of 119899-alkanes (C
8ndashC18) injected
under the chromatography conditions described above
23 Statistical Analysis The data were subjected to varianceanalysis and themeans were compared using the Scott-Knotttest (119901 le 005)The chemical composition data were analyzedthrough twomultivariate analysismethods principal compo-nent analysis (PCA) and arrangement analysis (cluster) basedon the similarity and distribution of the compounds usingStatistica software version 70
3 Results and Discussion
Among the compounds present in the essential oils from 48accessions 33 were identified and are listed according to theirorder of elution (Table 2)

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

Figure 3 Distribution of chemical compounds in the essential oils of L alba in relation to the first and second principal components basedon the principal component analysis (PCA)
limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
The most abundant compounds were 18-cineol linaloolmyrcene limonene carvone geranial and neral

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

Figure 3 Distribution of chemical compounds in the essential oils of L alba in relation to the first and second principal components basedon the principal component analysis (PCA)
limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
The most abundant compounds were 18-cineol linaloolmyrcene limonene carvone geranial and neral

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
The most abundant compounds were 18-cineol linaloolmyrcene limonene carvone geranial and neral

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
The most abundant compounds were 18-cineol linaloolmyrcene limonene carvone geranial and neral

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

Figure 3 Distribution of chemical compounds in the essential oils of L alba in relation to the first and second principal components basedon the principal component analysis (PCA)
limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
The most abundant compounds were 18-cineol linaloolmyrcene limonene carvone geranial and neral

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

Figure 3 Distribution of chemical compounds in the essential oils of L alba in relation to the first and second principal components basedon the principal component analysis (PCA)
limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
The most abundant compounds were 18-cineol linaloolmyrcene limonene carvone geranial and neral

Figure 2 Means and SEM for the chemical compounds in the essential oils from clusters 1 through 6 of L alba accessions
The variation in the concentrations of compounds amongthe accessions may have been a consequence of their originconsidering that in this experiment all of the accessionswere grown in the same environment Similar results wereobserved previously in studies with three chemotypes of Lalba from different Brazilian states (Rio de Janeiro Cearaand Sao Paulo) [15] and with accessions of Pogostemon spfrom the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal Universityof Sergipe [16]
The chemical analysis (Table 2) indicated that the mostabundant compounds among the accessions were 18-cineolelinalool myrcene limonene carvone geranial and neralleading to the formation of six clusters according to theobtained chemical compositions which were differentiated
through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

Figure 3 Distribution of chemical compounds in the essential oils of L alba in relation to the first and second principal components basedon the principal component analysis (PCA)
limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
The most abundant compounds were 18-cineol linaloolmyrcene limonene carvone geranial and neral

through cluster analysis (Figure 1) The compound linaloolpresent in accessions LA-01 and LA-22 (8473 and 8445resp) showed the highest abundance A similar result wasreported by [17] Linalool is widely used in the perfumecosmetic and fragrance industries [12]
Considering the similarities of the chemical constituentsof the essential oils of these 48 accessions the clusters wereclassified as follows Cluster 1 included LA-01 LA-09 LA-22and LA-27 which contained the followingmajor compoundslinalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 2 wasformed by accessions LA-20 and LA-24 and comprised thefollowing major compounds linalool geranial neral 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 3 was formedby accession LA-13 with the following major compounds

limonene carvone and sabinene Cluster 4 comprised acces-sions LA-56 LA-57 and LA-70 with the following majorcompounds carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrceneCluster 5 was formed by accessions LA-02 LA-04 LA-08 LA-10 LA-15 LA-17 LA-19 LA-21 LA-28 LA-29 LA-32 LA-37 LA-40 LA-41 LA-42 LA-44 LA-45 and LA-49 and exhibited the following major compounds neralgeranial and caryophyllene oxide Cluster 6 consisted ofaccessions LA-03 LA-30 LA-36 LA-39 LA-43 LA-52 LA-53 LA-54 LA-55 LA-58 LA-59 LA-60 LA-61 LA-62 LA-63 LA-67 LA-68 LA-69 LA-71 and LA-72 which containedgeranial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide(Figure 2)
According to the PCA (Figure 3) the first principalcomponent accounted for 2055 of the total variability inthe data and was positively associated with 18-cineol (119903 =082) cis-linalool oxide (119903 = 079) linalool (119903 = 082) andtrans-linalool oxide (119903 = 077) and negatively associated withgeranial (119903 = 090) and neral (119903 = minus089)
The second principal component represented 1239of the total variation in the data and showed a positivecorrelation with 1-octen-3-ol (119903 = 060) myrtenal (119903 = 069)myrtanyl acetate (119903 = 054) and caryophyllene oxide (119903 =075) and a negative correlation with carvone (119903 = minus049) andlimonene (119903 = minus063)
4 Conclusions
Variability was observed in the chemical composition of theessential oils of L alba accessions obtained from the AGB atUFS resulting in the formation of six different groups
The compounds characterizing the six groups were as fol-lows group 1 linalool 18-cineole and caryophyllene oxidegroup 2 linalool geranial neral 18-cineol and caryophyl-lene oxide group 3 limonene carvone and sabinene group4 carvone limonene g-muurolene and myrcene group 5neral geranial and caryophyllene oxide and group 6 gera-nial neral o-cymene limonene and caryophyllene oxide
