Schinus molle L. (aguaribay, aroeira-falsa, "molle", family Anacardiaceae), a native of South America, produces an active antibacterial essential oil extracted from the leaves and fruits. This work reports a complete study of its chemical composition and determines the antibacterial activity of Schinus molle L. essential oil and its main components. The results showed that the crude extract essential oil has a potent antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, a strong/moderate effect on Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and moderate/weak one on Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853.
锥栗 L.（阿瓜里巴、假油橄榄、“莫勒”，漆树科），原产于南美洲，其叶子和果实中提取的活性抗菌精油。本工作全面研究了锥栗 L.精油的化学成分，并测定了其抗菌活性及其主要成分。结果表明，粗提物精油对金黄色葡萄球菌 ATCC 25923 具有很强的抗菌作用，对大肠杆菌 ATCC 25922 具有强/中度作用，对铜绿假单胞菌 ATCC 27853 具有中度/弱作用。
