Abstract
Fungi have been recognized as a great source of bioactive metabolites with great medical and pharmaceutical applicability. The objective of this work was to produce a fungal extract from Rhizopus spp and identify the secondary metabolites obtained, followed by preparation of a microemulsion formulated with Rhizopus sp extract; characterizing its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Among the metabolites obtained, sorbitol, linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid stand out. The formulated microemulsion proved to be an effective pharmacological presentation in preserving the metabolites obtained from the fungal extract, and also potentiating in relation to the extract, when comparing the antioxidant activity and antimicrobial action.
