The volatile compounds obtained by SFE-CO2 (supercritical fluid extraction utilizing CO2) from the barks of Aniba canelilla (H. B. K.) Mez. (Lauraceae) were analyzed by HRGC-FID (high resolution gas chromatography - flame ionization detector) and HRGC-MS (high resolution gas chromatography -mass spectrometry). Phenylpropanoids and lower amounts of sesquiterpenoids, representing ca. 97% of the total oil, were identified. The main compound, 2-phenylnitroethane, corresponds to 71,12% of the total oil.
