Abstract

Lauraceae is a large family widely distributed in subtropical and tropical regions of the world. More than 250 species belonging to 18 genera of Lauraceae have been recorded in Vietnam. The essential oils (EOs) of some species belonging to genera such as Cinnamomum, Litsea, Phoebe, Machinus, Neolitsea, Dehaasia, Caryodaphnopsis, Lindera etc. collected from Vietnam have been reported to contain many bioactive compounds and possess biological agents. The aim of the present review is to provide comprehensive information on the chemical compositions, larvicidal and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils obtained from Lauraceae plants grown in Vietnam, with the objective of facilitating their further application in pharmaceutical and industrial contexts.
