Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris é uma bactéria Gram-positiva, termoacidófila, formadora de esporos e deteriorante de bebidas ácidas. Extratos de plantas naturais vêm sendo investigados como alternativa de antimicrobiano, como a Stevia rebaudiana, onde estudos revelam que extratos de suas folhas possuem metabólitos com potencial bioativo. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho, foi avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana da Stevia rebaudiana frente ao A. acidoterrestris. O extrato etanólico das folhas de Stevia rebaudiana (EES) e fração hexano das folhas de Stevia rebaudiana (FHS) foram testados para verificar concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) e concentração bactericida mínima (CBM) frente ao A. acidoterrestris. Fez-se a microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) do sub-CIM e CIM do EES e da FHS, e do controle (células de A. acidoterrestris não tratadas). A atividade inibitória encontrada foi de 31,25 μg/ml para EES e FHS testados contra o A. acidoterrestris. Enquanto que a CBM foi de 1000 μg/ml para ambos. Com a MEV foi possível observar os danos causados nas células vegetativas de A. acidoterrestris, além de verificar que houve redução do crescimento das células vegetativas ao utilizar EES e FHS. Conclui-se que os extratos testados foram efetivos contra A. acidoterrestris, demonstrando potencial biotecnológico como antimicrobiano natural para controle de suas células vegetativas em sucos de frutas cítricas industrializados.

Hypercholesterolemia is a state of increased levels of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and total cholesterol in the plasma. Stevia leaves have benefits to overcome hypercholesterolemia. The aimed of this study was to obtain ethanol extracts of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni leaves which have activity to reduce total cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia with effective doses. The method that will be carried out to achieve this goal was to make extracts by maceration of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni leaf powder using a water solvent for 5 days. Testing antihypercholesterolemia activity by giving treatment to 20 male white rats. Rats were divided into 5 treatment groups. Group I was negative control, II was simvastatin control, III extract was 30 mg / 200 g BW, IV extract was 60 mg / 200 g BW, V extract was 120 mg / 200 g BW. The mice were induced by propylthiouracil 12.5 mg / day and high-fat feed for 21 days, after which the rats were given the test for 14 days. Cholesterol levels were measured on days 0, 21st and 28th. The method of determining cholesterol levels uses the Easy Touch tool. On the 35th day, a total cholesterol level was examined and data analysis was performed. The results showed that the ethanol extract of stevia leaves had antihypercholesterolemia activity, extract dose of 30 mg / 200 g BW had antihypercholesterolemia activity which was equivalent to simvastatin.
