Abstract
Influence of Moisture Content and Compression Axis on Physico-Mechanical Properties of Shorea Robusta Seeds
Highlights
Due to the great development of societies, plants have become an important therapeutic medium through man, since they have immeasurable biologically operative substances which allow the synthesis of countless other synthetic substances for the analysis of the diverse diseases that affect humans [1,2]
Among the various substances are secondary metabolites, essential oils, tannins, oil-resins, terpenes, flavonoids, saponins, organic acids, and other chemical complexes [7,8] which are evidenced by their chemical effect, since they can be used for immeasurable related research, since they present diverse properties as anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, anticancer, antimicrobial and several others that contribute to the investigation [9]
The following graphs and tables present the results obtained in the disk-diffusion test for the strain Escherichia coli AB1157, as well as the treatment with the aqueous extract of Taraxacum officinale, in which the formation of halos of inhibition of the bacterial growth against the respective strain
Summary
Due to the great development of societies, plants have become an important therapeutic medium through man, since they have immeasurable biologically operative substances which allow the synthesis of countless other synthetic substances for the analysis of the diverse diseases that affect humans [1,2]. According to the progress of technology and the recent notions of sustainability that became common practice from the twentieth century, the use of plant herbal forms has increased worldwide, especially in Brazil, due to its gigantic vegetal biodiversity, which stimulates new studies in order to create new drugs that meet the therapeutic needs and are safe for human health, as well as for all biological areas [1,3] Aiming at this aspect, some plant forms of the genus Taraxacum, popularly known as Dandelion, have long been applied in medicine and known to supplant hepatic disorders, breast cancer and uterus, acting as diuretics, choleretic, anti-inflammatory [4,5]. Among the various substances are secondary metabolites, essential oils, tannins, oil-resins, terpenes, flavonoids, saponins, organic acids, and other chemical complexes [7,8] which are evidenced by their chemical effect, since they can be used for immeasurable related research, since they present diverse properties as anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, anticancer, antimicrobial and several others that contribute to the investigation [9].
