Aniba cinnamomiflora C. K. Allen is a tree species of Lauraceae family that produces essential oil. A study on the hydrodistillation product of wood pieces from branches of Aniba cinnamomiflora is presented. A 0.05% of essential oil was obtained. The essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography and Mass spectrometry. Fifteen compounds were identified (98.55%) of the total retrieved. The major component (54.00%) corresponds to the lipid γ-palmitolactone, followed by 1-epi-cubenol (9.56%), δ-cadinene (6.05%), t-cadinol (5.00%), and chamazulene (3.53%). This is the first study on the wood essential oil of Aniba cinnamomiflora.
