UV-SPECTROMETRY AND THE LIPID COMPOSITION OF THE WATER-PROPYLENEGLYCOL EXTRACTS FROM SEVERAL HERBS

The physico-chemical properties by means of UV-spectroscopy and the lipid composition of extracts from Salvia officinalis L. leaves, the Calendula officinalis L and Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers; Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruits were studied. It is shown that extracts characterized the low shares of phospholipids and a trace content of sterols in the total lipid composition. Extracts studied are in the following sequence in accordance with decreasing the phospholipid share in the total lipid composition: Salvia officinalis L. leaves > Calendula officinalis L flowers = Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruits > Matricaria chamomilla L. flowers. It is shown that the quantitative ratio of phospholipid fractions is determined by the nature of the plant. Thus, the highest relative content of the phospholipid lysoforms in extracts was found in Calendula officinalis L flowers and Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruits, the highest share of sphingolipids was revealed in phospholipids of Calendula officinalis L and Matricaria chamomilla L flower extracts, and the phospholipids of Hippophoe rhamnoides L fruit extracts contained the highest amount of phosphatidylcholine. The high content of the more easily oxidizable fractions in the phospholipid composition especially for Salvia officinalis L. leaves are revealed. Using UV-spectrometry of extracts and mathematical analysis of these data the presence of flavonoids with different chemical structure is confirmed.

The aim of this study is to present the current data on the herbs recommended by Saint Hildegard in skin care. The plants particularly appreciated by Saint Hildegard include: damascus rose (Rosa damascene Mill.), sage (Salvia officinalis L.), lavender narrow-leaved (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), white lily (Lilium candidum L.), yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.), calendula (Calendula officinalis L.), thyme (thymus; Thymus vulgaris L.), sweet violet (Viola odorata L.) and violet tricolor (Viola tricolor L.). Saint Hildegard of Bingen, thanks to her original recipes, knowledge of plants and a unique philosophy of life, found her way to beauty, which is used continuously until the present day.

Arctium Minus

A "hérnia das crucíferas" é a principal doença na produção de brássicas na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba-PR. Fatores ambientais favoráveis, ausência de cultivares resistentes e de controle químico eficiente, aliados ao plantio sucessivo de espécies da mesma família, têm colaborado para sua disseminação. Com o objetivo de controlar a doença com menor impacto ambiental, o presente estudo verificou o efeito do pré-plantio de plantas medicinais e aromáticas na redução de inóculo de Plasmodiophora brassicae. Dois experimentos foram conduzidos em casa de vegetação no Setor de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal do Paraná, nos períodos de junho a novembro de 2003 e julho a dezembro de 2004. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado com nove tratamentos e seis repetições. As plantas utilizadas nos tratamentos foram: menta (Mentha piperita L.); alfavaca (Ocimum basilicum L.); bardana (Arctium minus Hill); calêndula (Calendula officinalis L.); cebolinha (Allium fistulosum L.); salsa (Petroselinum hortense Hoffm) e sálvia (Salvia officinalis L.), e como testemunhas foram utilizados solos sem patógeno e solo infestado, ambos em pousio. Utilizaram-se vasos contendo 3 Kg de solo esterilizado via vapor e como inóculo de P. brassicae foram utilizados 2,5 g de galhas por vaso. A rúcula (Eruca sativa Mill) foi o hospedeiro suscetível utilizado. Após 45 dias do plantio da rúcula foram determinadas a massa aérea fresca, incidência de galhas galhas e o índice de severidade. A maior massa aérea fresca e as menores severidades foram obtidas no experimento de 2003, nos tratamentos com o pré-plantio das medicinais bardana, salsa, menta, alfavaca e cebolinha.

Calendula Officinalis L

The emulsions are cosmetic and pharmaceutical forms developed for topical use, ideal for the incorporation of active ingredients such as plant extracts, because of a great affinity with the skin when compared with other formulations. However, they are thermodynamically unstable systems and sometimes the addition of active principles can destabilize the system. The Stability study is a tool for the development of products, because when submitting a formulation to different tests, one can evaluate behaviors that indicate storage conditions or even make commercialization impossible. The study used the glycolic extracts of Aloe vera L. which presents mucílago in its composition, used in cosmetology and treatment of burns, Calendula officinalis L. which possesses cicatrizing and anti-inflammatory property, Matricaria Chamomilla L. which has anti-inflammatory feature and antiseptic, and Centella Asiatica L. which has anti-inflammatory, healing and calming properties. The extracts were incorporated into an emulsion and evaluated separately. The choice of extracts was made at random. After the evaluation of the physical-chemical stability and organoleptic characteristics, which lasted 60 days, it was possible to conclude that the emulsion developed with non-ionic self-emulsifying wax (Polavax) is very unstable when added with the glycolic extracts of Aloe vera L., Calendula officinalis L., Matricaria chamomilla L. and Centella asiatica L., not tolerating large temperature variations with changes in viscosity and pH.
