Schinus molle L. is popularly known as ¡°peppertree¡± and presents high essential oil contents with a pleasant spicy scent. Its fruits are used in beverages or dried and ground as a substitute for pepper. Air-dried samples of 11 Brazilian populations of S. molle were extracted using steam distillation and analyzed using GC and GC-MS. A total of 22 volatile compounds were detected and identified. Four groups were formed by the Average Linkage cluster analysis. The first group was characterized by the compound sabinene; the second, which was the largest group, was characterized by the presence of ¦Á- and ¦Â-pinene; the third group comprised the samples corresponding to the S?o Borja population and was characterized by the high contents of ¦Á-cadinol; and the fourth group was characterized by the high concentrations of myrcene.
