No. of bitstreams: 1 DIS_CAMILA_PEREIRA_GRANDINI_COMPLETO.pdf: 928123 bytes, checksum: 31401f36512c1229c7213472576341c1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-28 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico - CNPq / The growing concern of industries in finding natural inputs in place of synthetic ones in the production of bioactive products in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic areas motivated this research to the study of the biological activities of the volatile and non-volatile extracts of Pluchea sagittalis. This plant known as quitoco of spontaneous growth in nature is found in tropical regions having its origin in the South American continent. The goal of this study was to obtain volatile and nonvolatile extracts from the aerial parts of the quitoco and to evaluate the chemical composition and the biological activities of the extracts obtained. In order to obtain extracts from leaf and stem samples of P. sagittalis, without flowers and flower samples, two processes were used: Extraction by steam drag, to obtain volatile extracts, and supercritical extraction, to obtain non-volatile extracts. The chemical composition of the extracts obtained by steam drag was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer. The antimicrobial activity of leaf and stem essential oil was tested with the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and also with the fungus Candida albicans, both tests were performed using the indirect bioautography technique where the oil showed growth inhibition for Staphylococcus aureus and for the fungus Candida albicans. Volatile extracts of leaves and stems and flowers obtained by steam extraction and supercritical fluid at 90 bar pressure were evaluated for their aromatic potential by means of sensorial (olfatometric) analysis, having as best evaluation the extract obtained by supercritical extraction of quitoco flowers. / A crescente preocupa??o de ind?strias em encontrarem insumos naturais em substitui??o aos sint?ticos na produ??o de produtos bioativos nas ?reas farmac?utica, aliment?cia e cosm?tica motivou esta pesquisa quanto ao estudo das atividades biol?gicas dos extratos vol?teis e n?o vol?teis da Pluchea sagittalis. Esta planta conhecida como quitoco, de crescimento espont?neo, ? encontrada em regi?es tropicais tendo sua origem no continente sul-americano. O objetivo deste estudo consistiu em obter extratos vol?teis e n?o vol?teis das partes a?reas do quitoco e avaliar a composi??o qu?mica e as atividades biol?gicas dos extratos obtidos. Para a obten??o dos extratos a partir de amostras das folhas e talos da P. sagittalis, sem as flores, e amostras de flores foram utilizados dois processos: extra??o por arraste a vapor, para a obten??o de extratos vol?teis, e extra??o supercr?tica, para a obten??o de extratos vol?teis e n?o vol?teis. A composi??o qu?mica dos extratos obtidos por arraste a vapor foi determinada atrav?s da an?lise por cromatografia gasosa acoplada com espectr?metro de massa. A atividade antimicrobiana do ?leo essencial das folhas e talos foi testada com as bact?rias Staphylococcus aureus e Escherichia coli e tamb?m com o fungo Candida albicans, ambos os testes foram realizados atrav?s da t?cnica bioautografia indireta, onde o ?leo essencial apresentou inibi??o do crescimento para Staphylococcus aureus e para o fungo Candida albicans. Os extratos vol?teis das folhas e talos e das flores, obtidos atrav?s da extra??o por arraste a vapor e com fluido supercr?tico a 90 bar de press?o, foram avaliados quanto ao seu potencial arom?tico por meio de an?lise sensorial (olfatom?trica), tendo o extrato vol?til das flores obtido por extra??o supercr?tica um grande potencial para o uso em perfumaria.
