Caracterização cromatográfica em camada delgada do extrato fluido de guaco: Mikania glomerata Sprengel.

As frações hexanicas, clorofórmicas, em acetato de etila e etanólica do extrato fluido de guaco - Mikania glomerata foram analisadas por cromatografia em camada delgada frente a padrões de ácido caurenóico, ácido cinamoilgrandiflorico, estigmasterol e cumarina visando o estabelecimento de perfil cromatográfico que permita identificar este insumo farmacêutico.

Determination of bioactive amines in tropical wines produced at Brazilian's Northeast.

The wine production in the region of the Sub-middle São Francisco river Valley has started there are few years ago.The region has a climate variability that allows to obtain two or three harvests per year, which influences significantly the composition of the grapes. This work aimed to evaluate the amount of amines present in white and red tropical wines produced in the Northeast of Brazil. The winemaking was done by the traditional method. After stabilizing the wines were bottled and then analyzed for the determination of the amines putrescine, spermidine and spermine, by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The harvests were in June (harvest I) and November (harvest II) 2009. The results showed that the edaphoclimatic conditions of the two harvests had significant influence (p> 0.05) on bioactive amines concentration, with high values for red wines. In addition, tropical wines from Sub-middle São Francisco river Valley showed adequate correlation between bioactive amines as compared to other wines in the world.
