Estudo Do Derivado Do Óleo De Ricinus Communis L. (Mamona) Como Agente Biocida E Redutor Da Viscosidade Produzida Por Leuconostoc Mesenteroides Em Indústrias Sucroalcooleiras

Abstract: RESUMO Das sementes da mamona extrai-se o óleo de rícino, utilizado in natura ou em sua forma modificada nas áreas médica, farmacêutica e industrial. Um de seus derivados químicos - o Poliquilgerm® - evidencia propriedades antifúngicas sobre Candida albicans e bacteriostática/ bactericida sobre Escherichia coli no nível de 99,9%. Considerando-se essas propriedades, aplicouse o Poliquilgerm® em culturas de Leuconostoc mesenteroides, uma das espécies de bactéria contaminante dos mostos em indústrias sucroalcoole… Show more

“…It is noteworthy that no difference between treatments was found in the count of C. albicans and S. aureus , two important species found in the denture biofilm. Studies have reported that the detergent properties of R. communis cause damage to the cell wall, resulting in loss of the constituents of cytoplasm and subsequent cell death 12 , 30 . These action mechanisms however need to be further investigated.…”

“…The presence of a hydroxyl group, a single point of unsaturation and a carboxyl group – three highly reactive functional groups in the ricinoleic acid present in the castor oil composition – give R. communis important oil-chemical potential. It may be subjected to various chemical processes to obtain by-products used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, in the production of lubricants, polymers, biodiesel 11 , 12 , and more specifically in medical and dental products. Although a few studies have focused on the use of R. communis in complete dentures, the available results are promising 2 , 4 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 , particularly at a concentration of 10% 10 , 22 , 23 .…”

“…Castor oil, a natural derivative of the Ricinus communis plant, has a long history of therapeutic use. [54][55][56][57] It possesses recognised anti-inflammatory, 58 anti-nociceptive, 59 antioxidant, [60][61][62] anti-microbial, 63,64 insecticidal properties, 65 with a good safety and tolerance profile. 66,67 Recently, castor oil has found application within commercial ophthalmic eyedrop preparations, proving effective in counteracting tear film lipid insufficiency and tear film instability, and showing potential in managing dry eye disease secondary to meibomian gland dysfunction, without reported side effects.…”

“…The detergent properties of R. communis can damage cell membranes, resulting in loss of the constituent cytoplasm and subsequent cell death. 63,64 Castor oil has shown activity against a broad range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, particularly S. aureus and Escherichia coli and in some instances, castor oil has proved effective against antibiotic-resistant organisms. Trace amounts of essential oils (such as glycosides) in castor oil likely contribute to its observed antibacterial properties.…”

“…Conversely, castor oil, which is rich in ricinoleic acid, can interact with the microbial membrane and inhibit microbial growth by dissolving chitin, which is a component of cell membranes. It is a bactericidal agent against a range of bacteria and can be applied as an antibiotic (Jena & Gupta, 2012; Leonardo, Silva, Filho, Bonifácio, & Ito, 2001; Messeti, Santos, Angelis, Chierice, & Neto, 2010).…”
