The “cajuí” is a fruit originated from the “cajuizeiro” (Anacardium spp), a plant belonging to the family Anacardiaceae native to the northeastern region of Brazil, which can also be found in the north and center-west areas. Cashew is smaller compared to cashew (Anacardium occidentale) and both are found predominantly in the “cerrado” ecosystem. The “cajuí” is much appreciated in the cuisine in its form, juices...
The aim of this study was to perform chemical characterization of Lippia alba accessions from the Active Germplasm Bank of the Federal University of Sergipe. A randomized block experimental design with two replications was applied. The analysis of the chemical composition of the essential oils was conducted using a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer. The chemical composition of the essential oils ...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; This work was divided into three parts focusing two main topics: the study of volatiles compouds of P. graveolens and the study of the essential oil of L. alba and its evaluation of insecticidal activity against Spodoptera frugiperda. The chapter 2 approuch the study of the volatile compounds of the leaves of P. graveolens extracted by dynamic headspa...
Ocimum basilicum (Lamiaceae) and other species of the same genus are used as medicines for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. In this report, we have investigated the possible CNS depressant and anticonvulsant effects of Ocimum basilicum (access “Maria Bonita”) leaf essential oil (EO) in different experimental models. GC-MS and GC-FID analysis of the essential oil resulted in the identifica...

Insecticidal activity of essential oils of Pelargonium graveolens, Lippia alba and compounds geraniol, linalool, 1,8-cineole, limonene, carvone, citral and Azamax® were evaluated against Spodoptera frugiperda. Topical application assay showed essential oil of P. graveolens has acute toxicity against Spodoptera frugiperda larvae (third instar) with LD50 1.13 µg/mg per insect and LD90 2.56 µg/mg per insect. Three...
Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais; Citrus canker, caused by the bacteria Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), is a disease that causes serious problems to the global citrus industry, especially to orange(Citrus sinensis). In this regard, this thesis describes the development of new methodologies for the diagnosis of citrus canker by volatile biomarkers or macromolecules produced by the C. sinensis-Xac ass...
