Estudo de revisão da literatura sobre a importância do óleo essencial de Aniba canelilla e estudo experimental da biotransformação do 1-Nitro-2-Feniletano

Abstract

Popular wisdom brings with it constant evolution, as each generation adds values, beliefs and knowledge about plants, animals and places. The use of folk medicine has been growing to the point that people are looking every day for products that have natural compounds in their composition and that have been made naturally. It is from these perspectives that industries and companies seek to synthesize compounds that generate less environmental damage, in addition to being more cost-effective. In this case we find the study of several plants such as Aniba canelilla traditionally used to season meals and to cure gastrointestinal diseases. The production of the major compound (1-Nitro-2-Phenylethane) present in the essential oil of this species demands a high value, as it requires several watering agents and processes. Therefore, an effective way to produce this compound is through biotransformation with the use of fungi. The aim of this work is to analyze the biological properties of Aniba canelilla essential oil, in addition to its compounds, as well as to promote the biotransformation of 1-Nitro-2-Phenylethane into 2-Phenylethanol. It was observed that through bibliographic and experimental analysis, it was possible to enumerate 35 compounds present in the oil, in addition to 15 biological properties that vary between fungal, cardiovascular, and inhibitory. Furthermore, it was possible to obtain 2-Phenylethanol by biotransformation in a 7-day study.
