Resumen:
Asteraceae (formerly known as Compositae) is one of the largest families of higher plants, with more than 1700 genera and approximately 24000 species, which grow in varied environments [1]. The economic importance of the Asteraceae family has been described and, for centuries, several species of this family have been used for medicinal and food purposes [2]. Over the last decades, different species from this family have been studied due to the great variety and amount of bioactive compounds they synthesize. Among them, terpenoids and flavonoids stand out because of their biological activities and potential health benefits.
