Resumen:
Chemotypes, extraction, chemical composition and use of lippia alba essentialoil. Lippia alba is a plant widely distributed in tropical, subtropical and temperate zones of theAmericas, Africa and Asia. The essential oil of L. alba has been widely studied and there aremany variations in the production process. Therefore, this study is aimed at conducting a reviewof the main chemotypes, extraction methods, composition and application of the essential oilof L. alba. In this study, the main chemotypes and its relation to genetic and morphologicalcharacteristics are discussed. It also discusses the factors that affect the yield, chemicalcomposition, extraction methods and the use and the biological activity of the essential oil of L.alba. Despite the vast literature on the essential oils of L. alba, there is still a lack of developmentin its application for the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food, as well as a lackof agronomic definitions for its cultivation and genetic improvement
