Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Composição química e valor nutricional para grandes herbívoros das folhas e frutos de Aninga (Montrichardia linifera, Araceae)(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2010-12) AMARANTE, Cristine Bastos do; MÜLLER, Regina Celi Sarkis; DANTAS, Kelly das Graças Fernandes; ALVES, Claudio Nahum; MÜLLER, Adolfo Henrique; PALHETA, Dulcidéia da ConceiçãoThe aninga (Montrichardia linifera, Araceae) is often found in the floodplain ecosystems of the Amazon and is the natural diet of animals such as manatees, turtles, fish, buffalo and cattle. Aiming to contribute to the chemical knowledge and nutritional value of this plant, leaves and fruits of M. linifera were collected on the banks of the Guama and Maratauira rivers, Para State, Brazil. We determined the moisture content, ash mineral composition, lipids, protein, fiber, carbohydrate and caloric value of the fruits and leaves. The mineral composition (Ca, Mg, Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn) was obtained by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The leaves and the fruits of M. linifera had caloric values of 289.75 kcal and 355.12 kcal, respectively; and a low protein concentration, 0.44% for leaves and 0.24% for fruits. Manganese concentrations were 3279.46 mg kg-1 for leaves and 18151.53 mg kg-1 for fruits. These Mn concentrations are considered toxic, as they exceed the maximum tolerable for the ruminants (1000 mg kg-1). The M. linifera has the capacity to absorb and bioaccumulate large amounts of Ca, Mg and Mn in the soil, which makes it inappropriate for exclusive use as food for turtles, cattle and buffaloes, requiring more studies for its application as part of the diet.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Phytosterols isolated from endophytic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Melanconiaceae)(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2016-03) CARVALHO, Josiwander Miranda; PAIXÃO, Luanna Karyna Olimpio da; DOLABELA, Maria Fâni; MARINHO, Patrícia Santana Barbosa; MARINHO, Andrey Moacir do RosárioEndophytic fungi are fungi that colonize internal tissues of plants. There are few studies of compounds isolated from endophytic fungi of Amazon plants. Thus, the aim this study was the isolation and structural identification of sitosterol (1), stigmasterol (2), sitostenone (3), squalene (4), ergosterol (5) and ergosterol peroxide (6) from fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated as endophytic from Virola michelli, a typical Amazon plant, used in folk medicine against skin infection. Compounds were isolated by chromatography column on silica and identified by 1 H and 13C NMR and MS. The presence of phytosterols in fungi is rare and this is the first report of the isolation of the phytosterols sitosterol, stigmasterol and sitostenone from the genus Colletotrichum.
