Estudo fitoquímico da planta Dicerocaryum

Abstract

The present work is a study of the plant "DICEROCARYUM". This plant is part of the national flora, and the interest in its study is due in part to its traditional use by communities for various purposes, particularly as a substitute for soap to wash hair and clothing, hence its scientific importance. , because on the one hand, based on the evaluation of its chemical composition, its field of application can be broadened in different spheres of interest, both social and scientific, and on the other hand, the possibility of its application in the local cosmetic industry. Your study was carried out in two parts, the first consisting of: 1- survey of existing species in the country and possibilities for cultivation and harvesting. 2- Surveys on the usefulness of the plant at the traditional level. 3- Bibliographic research of phytochemical analysis methods (extraction, qualitative tests, separation and isolation of components and methods of identification). The second phase consisted of applying the analyzed methods of analysis for separation and isolation. In the separation and isolation of the components, thin layer chromatography techniques were used in conjunction with medium pressure column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography. From the qualitative tests carried out on the extracts, the results showed a behavior that justifies its use as an alternative to industrial soap. Eight components were isolated. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
