“…Além das condições descritas acima, trata cólicas, sensibilidade ao frio, conjuntivite, disenteria grave, gengivite, paralisia, inchaço na córnea, reduz a dor provocada pela artrite e pela artrose, elimina vômitos e as náuseas durante a gravidez, estimula produção de saliva, ameniza os feitos da insolação sendo que é um protetor solar natural potente, acelera a cicatrização de feridas, reduz dores em geral no corpo. 5 A comercialização de frutas pelos agricultores familiares é geralmente realizada de forma in natura, no entanto, grande parte da produção é desperdiçada e outra parte é vendida nas feiras livres. A comercialização in natura não é suficiente para a sustentação das atividades da produção agropecuária, dessa forma utilizam-se da prática do processamento agroindustrial para desenvolver produtos com maior valor agregado, tais como: doces, sorvetes, licores, tortas, balas, sucos concentrados, picolé, frutas desidratadas, compotas e geleias, contribuindo com o aumento da renda das famílias.…”

O tamarindo é uma matéria-prima valorizada no mundo por causa de componentes nutricionais que contribuem para a saúde humana. O propósito deste trabalho foi elaborar duas formulações de geleia de tamarindo, uma sem pectina e outra com pectina extraída do albedo do maracujá amarelo (Passiflora edulis), e após o período de 15 dias, avaliar a qualidade físico-química, microbiológica e sensorial. As características físico-químicas avaliadas foram pH, acidez total titulável (ATT), sólidos solúveis totais (SST), SST/ATT, umidade e cinzas. As análises microbiológicas consistiram na pesquisa de bolores e leveduras. A análise sensorial foi realizada por 60 provadores não treinados que avaliaram os atributos de cor, aparência, consistência, odor e sabor em escala hedônica de nove pontos, além de avaliarem a impressão global, a frequência de consumo, a razão do consumo e a intenção de compra. A geleia elaborada com adição de pectina do albedo do maracujá apresentou no geral todas as características físico-químicas e microbiológicas estabelecidas pela legislação. Todas as formulações de geleia apresentaram boa aceitação sensorial. A intenção de compra revelou que todos os produtos foram bem aceitos pelos julgadores que afirmaram que certamente ou provavelmente os comprariam. Os maiores índices de aceitabilidade foram para geleia sem pectina. ABSTRACT -The tamarind is a raw material valued in the world due to its nutritional components that contribute to their healthy characteristics. The purpose of this work was to develop two formulations of tamarind, a jelly without pectin and another with pectin extracted from the albedo of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), and after the period of 15 days evaluate the physical and chemical quality, microbiological and sensory. The physicochemical characteristics evaluated were pH, titratable total acidity (ATT), total soluble solids (TSS), SST/ATT, moisture and ash. The microbiological analysis consisted in the research of molds and yeasts. Sensory analysis was performed for 60 untrained tasters that evaluated the attributes of color, appearance, consistency, smell and taste in hedonic scale of nine points, and assessed the overall impression, the frequency of consumption, the ratio of consumption, and buy intention. The jelly prepared with pectin addition of passion fruit albedo presented in general all the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics established by law. All jelly formulations showed good sensory acceptance. The intention to purchase revealed that all products have been well accepted by the judges, who said they definitely or probably buy. The highest acceptability rates were to jam without pectin.

“…Using a rabbit ear model, Ju-Lin et al (2009) reported that asiaticoside could alleviate scarring by decreasing transform growth factor beta-1 expression and enhancing the expression of inhibitory Smad 7, resulting in an antiscarring effect. Tamarind extract relates to its anti-inflammatory activity and may remove death cells and necrotic tissues (Havinga et al, 2010). Aloe vera is another well-known substance that is believed to enhance wound healing.…”

The development of hypertrophic scars is an unsolved problem in the process of wound healing. The objective of this research was to study the efficacy of the combination of herbal extracts and a silicone derivative in a gel preparation (Cybele ® Scagel) on the treatment of deep second degree burns after complete epithelialization. Sixty-three patients were enrolled in this study. One wound area larger than 10 × 10 cm was selected from each patient to receive treatment with Cybele ® Scagel. Patients were observed for pigmentation, pliability, pain and itching for 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks after treatment. Their data and wound characteristics were collected during each visit using the Vancouver scar scale. After 24 weeks, all scales (pigmentation, pliability, pain and itching) were significantly lower in the sites treated with Cybele ® Scagel compared with the previous time points (p< 0.05). However, vascularity and height scale were not significantly different (p> 0.05). One patient was excluded at week 2 because of moderate itching at the wound site, which could have interfered with the evaluation. The application of Cybele ® Scagel might have some beneficial effects for prevention of hypertrophic scar formation after partial thickness burn injuries.

“…Preparations from T. indica are traditionally used fror treating a broad range of ailments such as abdominal ailments, parasitic infestation, fever, malaria, and respiratory problems [190]. These properties may be attributable to the presence in the plant of various phytochemicals with, among others, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties [191,192,193,194].…”

People have probably used plant-based substances to improve their appearance since the existence of mankind. The first documented use of cosmetics dates back to 3,000 BC from ancient Egypt, but it is safe to say that this custom has been (and still is) an integral part of daily life in all civilizations. The initial use of plantderived makeup -sometimes supplemented with paints and dyes -has come full circle and is back with the contemporary trend of using beauty products that are mainly derived from plant sources. The Republic of Suriname (South America) is renowned for its extensive ethnopharmacological knowledge and unique plant biodiversity that provides ample raw material that can be processed into cosmetics and cosmeceuticals. This paper gives some historical highlights on the use of makeup throughout the world with the emphasis on naturally-derived products; focuses on the herbal cosmetics industry in Suriname; extensively addresses the scientific rationale for incorporating extracts from plants in cosmetics and cosmeceuticals in the country; and concludes with the conditions to establish a beauty products industry in Suriname.
