AVALIAÇÃO DO PERFIL ANTIFÚNGICO E CARACTERIZAÇÃO QUÍMICA DE HIDROLATOS DAS FOLHAS DE Rosmarinus officinalis, Origanum vulgare, Psidium guajava L. e Ocimum basilicum L.

Abstract

This document is structured as follows: I. Initial Considerations, II. Theoretical Foundation, III. Objectives, IV. Chapter 1, V. Chapter 2, VI. Final Considerations and Appendix. Chapter 1 contains the first article, a Review Article, entitled "ANTIFUNGICAL ACTIVITY OF HYDROLATES FROM MEDICINAL PLANTS: The State of the Art in a Systematic Review." This article consists of a systematic review using the Prism Technique. Chapter 2 contains the second article, an Experimental Article, entitled "EVALUATION OF THE ANTIFUNGAL PROFILE AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF HYDROLATES FROM THE LEAVES OF Rosmarinus officinalis, Origanum vulgare, Psidium guajava L., and Ocimum basilicum L." This article performed an antifungal analysis of hydrolates from the leaves of four plants using two diffusion techniques against strains of filamentous fungi and yeast.
