Abstract: Aniba rosaeodora is one of the most widely used plants in the perfumery industry, being used as medicinal plant in the Brazilian Amazon. This work aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of A. rosaeodora essential oil and its biological activities. A. rosaeodora essential oil presented linalool Citation: Teles, A.M.; Silva-Silva, J.V.; (93.60%) as its major compound. The A. rosaeodora essential oil and linalool showed activity against Fernandes, J.M.P.; Calabrese, K.d.S.; all the bacteria strains tested, standard strains and marine environment bacteria, with the lower Abreu-Silva, A.L.; Marinho, S.C.; minimum inhibitory concentration being observed for S. aureus. An efficient antioxidant activity Mouchrek, A.N.; Filho, V.E.M.; of A. rosaeodora essential oil and linalool (EC50: 15.46 and 6.78 µg/mL, respectively) was evidenced Almeida-Souza, F.
