PROPRIEDADES REOLÓGICAS DO SUCO DE BURITI (Mauritia flexuosa)

Development and characterization of DNA microsatellite primers for buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.).

Mauritia flexuosa L. (Arecaceae) is a palm tree species known as buriti that occurs in the Cerrado biome. It is characteristic of the vereda, a typical ecosystem of central Brazil. In this phytophysiognomy, M. flexuosa and other groups of arboreal-herbaceous species develop in open fields with very humid soils. M. flexuosa can be found in forest borders and is a palm tree with a wide distr...

Application of Chitosan and Buriti Oil (Mauritia Flexuosa L.) in Skin Wound Healing

Wound is the breakdown of the structure and normal functions of the integument and its healing process. The wound healing process is common to all tissues and is characterized by three stages: inflammation, proliferation (fibroblast phase) and remodelling. Many substances are used to improve and accelerate this process. A polymer that comes to the attention of researchers is chitosan, which is ...

In Vitro and in Vivo Antioxidant Activity of Buriti Fruit (mauritia Flexuosa L.f.).

INTRODUCTION studies have shown high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids, polyphenols and ascorbic acid in Buriti fruit (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.). This study evaluated the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activities of buriti fruit (Mauritia flexuosa L.f.). METHODS the chemical composition and total phenolic and carotenoid contents of the buriti pulp and the feed rations ...

Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Potential of Palm Leaf Extracts from Babaçu (Attalea speciosa), Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa), and Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata)

Babaçu (A. speciosa), Buriti (M. flexuosa), and Macaúba (A. aculeata) are palm trees typical of the ecotone area between Cerrado and the Amazon rainforest. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of the extracts prepared from the leaves of those palms as well as determine their chemical compositions. The ethanol extracts were prepared in a Soxhlet apparatus and tes...
