“…[2,3] Essential oils have therapeutic uses in human medicine due to its anticancer, antinociceptive, antiphlogistic, antiviral, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. [4,5] Aromatic and medicinal plants are known to produce certain bioactive molecules which react with other organisms in the environment, inhibiting bacterial or fungal growth. [6][7][8] .…”

The aim of present study was to evaluation the antioxidant potential of Lavandula officinalis on the basis of the chemical compositions of oils obtained by hydrodistillation. In the case of L.officinalis, thirteen compounds were identified representing the 96.53% of the total oil. The major constituents of the oil were described as α-pinene (20.14%), camphor (14.36%), menthol (32.51%) and 1,8-cineole (20.14%). The oils were also subjected to screening for their possible antioxidant activity by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. %). 1,8-Cineole and menthol showed appreciable antioxidant activity in DPPH test. Antioxidant activity guided fractionation of the oil was carried out by The TLC-bioautography screening and fractionation resulted in the separation of the main antioxidant compound which were identified as 1,8-cineole (48%) and menthol (39%).

“…Pollen, as well as other apicultural products, has gained increased attention for its therapeutic properties, as antibacterial (GARCÍA et al, 2001;PROESTOS et al, 2005), antifungicidal (GARCÍA et al, 2001), anti-caryogenic (ALMAS et al, 2001) and immunomodulatory (GEBARA et al, 2002) effects. Other potential applications of pollen include its use in apitherapy and as a functional food in the food industry due to pollen nutritional properties.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity, phenolic content and antibacterial activity of pollen extracts obtained with different concentrations of ethanol. Each extraction condition (ethanol solutions from 40 to 90%) had a different effect in the phenolic compounds content. Although, the pollen extract obtained at 60, 70 and 80% of ethanol showed relatively higher levels of phenolic compounds (>10 mg/g) and did not present statistical significant difference between the extraction conditions. The amount of total phenolics ranged from 3.6 to 8.1 and 6.6 to 10.9 mg GAE/g for Alagoas state and Parana state pollen, respectively. The higher value for antioxidant activity index was 83.30% for the pollen from Alagoas state and 81.15 % for Parana state pollen. The highest degree of antioxidant activity was found in the extraction at 60% of ethanol solution for Parana state pollen, which also showed the highest concentration of polyphenol compounds. Staphylococcus aureus was inhibited by the ethanolic extract of Alagoas state pollen in all the concentrations of solvent, except the ethanolic extract of pollen at 90%. The extract at 60% of ethanol solution (Parana sample) inhibited Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella sp.Index terms: Pollen, antioxidant, antibacterial activity. RESUMOObjetivou-se, neste estudo determinar compostos fenólicos, a atividade antioxidante a antibacteriana dos extratos etanólicos de pólen, obtidos com diferentes concentrações de etanol. As diferentes condições de extração (etanol de 40 a 90%) apresentaram diferentes efeitos no conteúdo dos compostos fenólicos extraídos. Os extratos de pólen obtidos com etanol a 60, 70 e 80% apresentaram maiores níveis de compostos fenólicos (>10 mg/g) e não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas entre essas condições de extração. A quantidade de compostos fenólicos nos extratos de pólen variou de 3.6 a 8.1 e 6.6 a 11 mg de equivalente em ácido gálico por g de pólen (GAE), para os estados de Alagoas e Paraná, respectivamente. Os maiores índices de atividade antioxidante para o pólen do estado de Alagoas foi de 83.30% e 81.15 % para o pólen do estado do Paraná. O pólen do estado do Paraná extraído com etanol a 60%, apresentou o maior índice de atividade antioxidante e também a maior concentração de compostos fenólicos. A bactéria Staphylococcus aureus foi inibida pelo extrato etanólico do pólen de Alagoas, em todas as concentrações, exceto no extrato etanólico a 90%. O extrato etanólico a 60%, no pólen do Paraná, inibiu Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Klebsiella sp.Termos para indexação: Pólen apícola, atividade antioxidante e antibacteriana.

“…O gênero Mentha inclui aproximadamente 30 espécies que se desenvolvem em diversas regiões da Europa, Ásia, Austrália e América do Sul (DORMAN et al, 2003). Esse gênero apresenta dificuldades para sua classificação devido à grande variabilidade em suas características morfológicas e a facilidade de hibridização (LORENZO et al, 2002), como no caso de Mentha spicata, que é resultado do cruzamento de diversas espécies de Mentha.…”

“…As diferenças do rendimento de óleo essencial, observadas entre as espécies de Mentha (Tabela 2), sugerem ser decorrentes de características genéticas (KOKKINI et al, 1995;OZGUVEN & KIRICI, 1999) e condições climáticas, principalmente temperatura (DURIYAPRAPAN et al, 1986) e radiação (KOKKINI et al, 1995). menor adaptação desses genótipos à baixas temperaturas.…”

RESUMOO gênero Mentha compreende diversas espécies de interesse econômico por causa da produção de óleos essenciais. Recentemente, foram introduzidos no Brasil novos materiais genéticos para avaliação da adaptação em relação ao potencial de rendimento e composição do óleo essencial. Termos para indexação: Mentha spp., óleo essencial, linalol. ABSTRACTThe genus Mentha includes many species of economic interest due the essential oil production. Recently new genetic materials were introduced in Brazil to evaluate the adaptation related to essential oil yield and composition. In the present work, these characteristics were compared in six cultivars of the species Mentha x piperita L.
