Phytochemical standardization of hydroalcoholic extracts of ishpingo, Ocotea quixos (Lam.) Kosterm

Abstract:

Investigations have proved the presence of components such as cinamaldehyde, cinamyl acetate and phenolic compounds in Ocotea quixos, these components have been attributed to antimicrobial disinfectants, antifungal and healing activities. It is important to point out that, to evaluate any biological activity, it is necessary to have standardized extracts to obtain reliable and reproducible results. The present investigation consist of standardizer hydroalcoholic extracts of ishpingo, O. quixos, evaluating the influence of three experimental variables: vegetal material (fresh and dry), solvent (ethanol and cane ethanol) and solvent concentration (90, 70 and 50%) v/v through an experimental factorial design, from which 12 different extracts with 3 repetitions of each were obtained. The extracts were obtained through a percolation process considering the variables of the experimental design. A phytochemical screening …
