Cashew Gum (Anacardium occidentale) as a Potential Source for the Production of...
Loureiro, Kahynna C.; Jäger, Alessandro; Pavlova, Ewa; Lima-Verde, Isabel B.; Štěpánek, Petr; Sangenito, Leandro S.; Santos, André L. S.Every year, more than thirty thousand tons of Cashew gum (Anacardium occidentale, family: Anacardiaceae) are produced in Brazil; however, only a small amount is used for different applications in foodstuff and in pharmaceutical industries. As a raw material for the production of drug delivery systems, cashew gum is still regarded as an innovative compound worth to be exploited. In this work, cashew gum was extr...
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles mediated by entomopathogenic fungi: antimi...
Santos, Tárcio S.; Silva, Tarcisio M.; Cardoso, Juliana C.; Albuquerque-Júnior, Ricardo L. C. de; Zielinska, Aleksandra; Souto, Eliana B.Silver nanoparticles are widely used in the biomedical and agri-food fields due to their versatility. The use of biological methods for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles has increased considerably due to their feasibility and high biocompatibility. In general, microorganisms have been widely explored for the production of silver nanoparticles for several applications. The objective of this work was to evalu...
Red propolis and its dyslipidemic regulator formononetin: evaluation of antioxi...
Mendonça, Marcio A. A. de; Ribeiro, Ana R. S.; Lima, Adriana K. de; Bezerra, Gislaine B.; Pinheiro, Malone S.; Albuquerque-Júnior, Ricardo L. C. dePropolis has various pharmacological properties of clinical interest, and is also considered a functional food. In particular, hydroalcoholic extracts of red propolis (HERP), together with its isoflavonoid formononetin, have recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, with known added value against dyslipidemia. In this study, we report the gastroprotective effects of HERP (50–500 mg/kg, p.o.) and ...
