Resumo

Essential oil from leaves and roots of Allium schoenoprasum L. (Alliaceae) were analyzed by GC/MS. The oils extracted by hydrodistillation yielded 0.02% and 0.03% for leaves and roots, respectively. Five (99.12 % leaves) and four (98.32 % roots) components were identified being bis-(2-sulfhydryethyl)disulfide (72.06 % leaves, 56.47 % roots) the major constituent on the two oil samples while 2,4,5-trithiahexane (5.45 % leaves, 15.90 % roots) and tris (methylthio)-methane (4.01 % leaves, 12.81 % roots) were detected in lower amounts.
