This paper reports the study of composition and variation of the chemical components of essential oils of Croton species of Sergipe emphasizing its importance chemotaxonomy. Essential oils from fresh aerial parts obtnained by hydrodistillation from samples of Croton blanchetianus (CB-GA), C. campestris (CC-AML), C. heliotropiifolius collected at different locations in the Sergipe (CH-SG1, CH-SG2, CH-GA, and CH-AML), C. pedicellatus (CP-SI), C. tetradenius (CT-SG) and seven other unidentified taxa, called CSP1-CPS7, were analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID, such analysis revealed a highly variable chemical composition. It were identified 131 components by comparing the retention indices and mass spectra of compounds with literature data and NIST and Willey mass spectra libraries. With the chemical analysis of oil of Croton were established correlations between the taxa of C. heliotropiifolius, which can be differentiated by using their main chemical markers: (E)-caryophyllene and bicyclogermacrene. For comparative analysis of the chemical composition of essential oils of Croton species, chemometric tools as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and hierarchic Cluster Analysis (HCA) was applied, by which it was possible to differentiate the components of the essential oil of aerial parts of Croton species grouped by class of compounds according to their biosynthetic origin (monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, phenylpropanoids and derivatives of fatty acids). With this analysis it was possible to form three groups (I, II and III), corroborating the comparative analysis of chromatographic profiles. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the chemical composition of essential oils of C. pedicellatus and C. tetradenius.
