Abstract Essential oils from the leaves, fruit and resin of Protium heptaphyllum were analyzed by GC/MS from a sample collected in Crato-Ceara, Brazil. The major constituents identified in the leaves were mono and sesquiterpenes such as myrcene (18.6%), β-caryophyllene (18.5%) whereas oils from resin and fruit contained mainly monoterpenes such as α-pinene (10.5%), limonene (16.9%), α-phellandrene (16.7%), and terpinolene (28.5%) in the resin oil, and α-pinene (71.2%) in the fruit oil
