Abstract
A literature-based prospection of Cladanthus mixtus essential oil composition was carried out. Essential oils from this species are widely used in fragrances, cosmetics, soaps, detergents and perfumery. A review of the scientific literature pertaining to constituents of C. mixtus essential oils, volatile fractions and biological activities is presented. The results from this work indicate that the essential oil yield and chemical composition seem to be strongly dependent of collections sites. As well, these results support that C. mixtus can be a suitable alternative source of commercial chamomile oil and bioactive extracts.
