ABSTRACT Kalanchoe species products are commercially available in local markets and by internationally accessible online retailers may exhibit quality issues because of misidentification from similar common names anatomical similarities among related used as feedstock. This study proposes an approach using UPLC‐MS/MS E HPTLC, coupled with morphoanatomical analysis to establish chemical composition pattern data for five species. Subsequently, the methods were validated analyzing commercial...
A insegurança alimentar entre crianças e adolescentes é um problema global que reflete desigualdades econômicas, sociais culturais. Estudos apontam tanto a desnutrição infantil quanto o excesso de peso estão associados riscos futuros alterações metabólicas, diabetes doenças cardiovasculares destacam necessidade ações em conjunto diferentes setores, com foco alimentação adequada incentivo estilos vida saudáveis. Portanto, estudo busca identificar as causas 4 11 anos uma escola pública...
Abstract We report for the first time presence of cluster crystals calcium oxalate within glandular trichomes and oil bodies in mesophyll Baccharis species. Moreover, comparative leaf anatomy micro‐morphology six species , namely B. illinita microdonta pauciflosculosa punctulata reticularioides sphenophylla is investigated by light scanning electron microscopy. The studied exhibited differences their anatomical features such as morphology cuticle, type occurrence stomata, or absence...
Lavandula dentata, popularly known as lavender, is commonly used in traditional medicine for the treatment of digestive and inflammatory disorders. The objective this study was to analyzed chemical oil composition, antioxidant antimicrobial activities essential anatomical markers leaf stem L. dentata cultivated South Brazil. Essential showed an activity similar rutin gallic acid when by phosphomolybdenum method. However, free radical DPPH ABTS methods, it a slight potential antioxidant....
The present work provides a comparative account of the morpho-anatomy six species Eucalyptus, namely E. badjensis Beuzev. & Welch, benthamii Maiden Cambage, dunnii Maiden, grandis W.Hill, globulus Labill. and saligna Sm., Myrtaceae. Leaf samples these were investigated by light scanning electron microscopy. observed microscopic features that can be useful in identification quality control studied include morphology epicuticular waxes, presence prismatic crystals on leaf surface, midrib shape...
Baccharis belongs to the Asteraceae family and comprises a number of medicinal species. brevifolia DC., B. microdonta pauciflosculosa trilobata A.S. Oliveira & Marchiori, which are popularly known in Brazil as "vassouras" ("broom"), all found Southern Brazil. The anatomical features leaf stem were investigated by employing usual light scanning electron microtechniques, means differentiating taxa. following characteristics can be considered diagnostic: occurrence type stomata, midrib, crystal...
HIGHLIGHTS Eucalyptus cinerea essential oil (EO) contains 1,8-cineole as the main component. This EO demonstrated antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. reduced viability of Jurkat Calu-3 cells decreased DNA content. had cell death mechanism related to apoptosis.
Mikania belongs to the Asteraceae family and includes a wide range of promising pharmacological activities. Several species Mikania, which is popularly known in Brazil as "guaco", occur Southern their external morphology similar. The aim this study was investigate morpho-anatomical characteristics leaf stem campanulata, cordifolia, glomerata, hastato-cordata, microptera sessilifolia means providing additional support for differentiating these taxa. leaves stems were investigated by employing...
Abstract This article enumerates the detailed anatomy of Cantinoa althaeifolia (Lamiaceae) illustrated with light and scanning electron microscopy images. The anatomical markers include presence branched nonglandular trichomes capitate, peltate, clavate types glandular trichomes; prismatic crystals on leaf stem surfaces; oil droplets in mesophyll. Histochemical tests EDS analyses were performed order to detect composition certain cells their contents. key findings present study can...
The use of plants for medicinal purposes has a long history, however it is desirable continuous evaluation seeking complementary scientific evidences their safe application. Species within the Kalanchoe genus are often referred to as "miracle leaf" due remarkable healing properties. Traditionally, these have been used treat infections, inflammation, and cancer. Despite widespread use, identification active components remains incomplete. This study aimed differentiate K. crenata (KC),...
ISHS XXVII International Horticultural Congress - IHC2006: Symposium on Plants as Food and Medicine: The Utilization Development of for Human Health ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF THE ESSENTIAL OILS THYMBRA CAPITATA, ORIGANUM VULGARE, THYMUS MASTICHINA, AND CALAMINTHA BAETICA
This research reports for the first time anatomical characteristics of all species belonging to Baccharis subgenus Coridifoliae (Asteraceae). The anatomy and micro-morphology aerial vegetative organs ten species: B. albilanosa , artemisioides bicolor coridifolia erigeroides napaea ochracea pluricapitulata scabrifolia suberectifolia are investigated by light scanning electron microscopy. number secretory ducts, crystal morphology, presence or absence conical nonglandular trichomes, leaves...
HIGHLIGHTS Crude extract showed higher antioxidant activity. The flavonoid hispidulin was found in the crude extract. 47.98 mg/g of flavonoids were quantified In 160.66 total phenolics.
Ocotea porosa (Nees & Mart.) Barroso, commonly known as "imbuia", "canela-imbuia" or "imbuia-amarela" in Brazil, is a tree of the Southern Atlantic Forest. The present study investigates anatomy leaf and stem, volatile oil chemistry, well cytotoxicity insecticidal activities essential O. porosa. Species identification was achieved by features, mainly due to paracytic anomocytic stomata; non-glandular trichomes; biconvex midrib petiole with collateral open arc vascular bundle; presence...
The leaves of Monteverdia ilicifolia (syn. Maytenus ilicifolia), commonly called espinheira-santa, are widely used in South American traditional medicines to treat gastritis and ulcers. Several products labeled as espinheira-santa sold dietary supplements retail stores via e-commerce. Many different species with similar leaf morphology often mistaken for including aquifolia (Celastraceae), Citronella gongonha (Cardiopteridaceae), Jodina rhombifolia (Santalaceae), Sorocea bonplandii...
Several Baccharis species are popularly known in traditional medicine as "carquejas", "vassouras", "ervas-santas" and "mio-mios", used anti-inflammatories, digestives, diuretics. This study aimed to investigate the chemical compositions cytotoxic activities of essential oils (EOs) six belonging subgenus Coridifoliae, namely B. albilanosa, coridifolia, erigeroides, napaea, ochracea, pluricapitulata.
