RESUMO:Este artigo é uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as espécies brasileiras de Passiflora (Passiflora edulis fo. flavicarpa O. Deg., P. alata Curtis e P. edulis fo. edulis). A maioria dos artigos da literatura focaliza somente as folhas de Passiflora, enquanto que esta revisão contém informações sobre a polpa, cascas e sementes dos frutos do maracujá, com destaque para a composição química, estudos nutricionais e farmacológicos. O enfoque nos frutos do maracujá fundamenta-se no amplo consumo do suco de maracujá (fresco ou industrializado) no Brasil e também nas investigações em andamento para avaliar o seu potencial uso como alimento funcional.Unitermos: Passiflora, composição química, alimento funcional.ABSTRACT: "Passion fruit: a functional food?" This paper consists of a bibliographic review of the most relevant edible Brazilian Passiflora species (Passiflora edulis fo. flavicarpa O. Deg., P. alata Curtis and P. edulis fo. edulis). Most of the reports in the literature focus solely on Passiflora leaves, whereas this review contains information about passion fruit pulp, rind and seeds, highlightening chemical composition, nutritional and pharmacological studies. The emphasis on the "maracujá" fruit is due to the extensive consumption of passion fruit juice (fresh or processed) in Brazil and on ongoing investigations into its potential as a functional food.

“…Studies dedicated to recover the knowledge of popular medicine have, in the last decade, received considerable attention due to the wide range of information they can provide to contemporary science (Vendruscolo et al, 2005;Albuquerque & Hanazaki, 2006;Silva et al, 2006;Agra et al, 2007;Rodríguez et al, 2008). According to the WHO (World Health Organization) in developing countries, about 80% of the population make use of traditional basic health care; 85% out of these use plants or their derivates Fernanda Leitão, Viviane Stern da Fonseca-Kruel, Inês Machline Silva, Fernanda Reinert (Vendruscolo et al, 2005;MDA, 2006;Agra et al, 2007 andVeiga-Junior, 2008).…”

RESUMO: "Etnobotânica urbana em Petrópolis e Nova Friburgo (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)". O principal objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar as plantas úteis comercializadas em feiras livres em Petrópolis e Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados utilizando as técnicas de observação participante, entrevistas semi-estruturadas e listagem livre com quatro comerciantes de plantas medicinais. A partir dessas entrevistas, 115 espécies (pertencentes a 49 famílias) foram relacionadas: 94 com uso medicinal, 12 com uso religioso e 9 com uso ornamental. Trinta por cento das espécies são nativas e 72% possuem hábito herbáceo. As famílias mais representativas foram Asteraceae (26 espécies) e Lamiaceae (10 espécies). As espécies medicinais indicadas para o tratamento de doenças do sistema respiratório foram mais freqüentes durante o outono e inverno. A espécie denominada como Espinheira-santa (Clarisia cf. ilicifolia) obteve o valor mais alto de Importância Relativa (1,8) e a mais alta colocação em todas as estações do ano utilizando o cálculo Preference Ranking, embora seus níveis de eficiência e toxidez não tenham sido ainda estabelecidos. O estudo se mostrou relevante, pois visa reunir o conhecimento dos informantes sobre as espécies que comercializam em feiras livres e mercados populares no estado do Rio de Janeiro, que representa uma valiosa fonte para a bioprospecção.Unitermos: Etnobotânica, plantas medicinais, feira-livre, conhecimento local, Brasil. ABSTRACT:The main goal of this paper was the study of the useful plants sold in the openair fairs of Petrópolis and Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data collection was obtained through participant observation, semi structured interviews and free listing with four herbalist informants. From the interviews, 115 species (belonging to 49 families) were recorded: 94 for medicinal purposes, 12 with religious application, and 9 for ornamental purposes. Thirty percent of the species were native, and 72% herbaceous. The most representative families were Asteraceae (26 species) and Lamiaceae (10 species). The medicinal species related to diseases of the respiratory system were more common during the winter and autumn. "Espinheirasanta" (Clarisia cf. ilicifolia) had the highest Relative Importance (1.8) and collocation in all seasons using the Preference Ranking, although its effectiveness or toxicity levels have not been established. The importance of the study is to gather knowledge from local herbalists about commercialized species in open-air fairs and popular markets in the Rio de Janeiro State, which represent valuable resources for bioprospection.

OBJECTIVE:To characterize the integration of phytotherapy in primary health care in Brazil. METHODS:Journal articles and theses and dissertations were searched for in the following databases: SciELO, Lilacs, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Theses Portal Capes, between January 1988 and March 2013. We analyzed 53 original studies on actions, programs, acceptance and use of phytotherapy and medicinal plants in the Brazilian Unified Health System. Bibliometric data, characteristics of the actions/programs, places and subjects involved and type and focus of the selected studies were analyzed. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:Over the past 25 years, there was a small increase in scientific production on actions/programs developed in primary care. Including phytotherapy in primary care services encourages interaction between health care users and professionals. It also contributes to the socialization of scientific research and the development of a critical vision about the use of phytotherapy and plant medicine, not only on the part of professionals but also of the population.
