Extratos bioativos de frutos amazônicos por química verde: Extração por Líquido Pressurizado (PLE) e Fluído Supercrítico (SFE)

Abstract

The Amazon has a highly favorable for biodiversity search for new economic and scientific alternatives. Many researchers have sought to identify bioactive compounds regional plants, where even some research has shown the effectiveness of antioxidant compounds in combating free radicals, showing the importance of products of the Amazonian plant extraction in this scenario described, including examples like the fruits of açaí, cubiu and piquiá. Amazonian fruit have found enough space in the tests scientific achievements around the world, but little attention has been directed for their waste, whether industrial or subparts of these fruits, not enjoyed the food and / or pharmaceutical industry. This thesis project aims to identify, by the use of green chemistry, Bioactive compounds of commercial interest in waste or subparts underexplored of fruit trees and Amazonian tubers with objective of generating new products in the food and / or pharmaceutical field, or even patents.
