Basic study for the determination of the operating conditions for the extraction of the essential oil of Myrcianthes pseudomato. The main variables, mass, grain size and extraction time, involved in the extraction by steam distillation of the essential oil of Myrcianthes pseudomato (D. Legrand) McVaugh were determined. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids and terpenoids among others. The composition of the essential oil was determined by GC- MS which showed the majority presence of eucalyptol and linalool. The steam distillation equipment was according to the Bench Scale design.
