Caracterização fitoquímica da Amorimia rígida em três regiões do semiárido: um estudo comparativo.

Abstract

The rigid Amorimia (Mascagnia) is a Malpiguiaceae family plant, popularly known as Tinguí or Timbó (ALMEIDA, 2018), it‟s the main responsible for the poisoning records in the herd of the Northeastern Semi-arid region (MEDEIROS et al., 2002), and the contamination and intoxication by it, can evolve to deaths due to its toxicity. Studies pointed to monofluoroacetic acid as the probable agent of the toxicity of Amorimia sp. being able to induce death (DUARTE et al., 2013). Request this information and its presence in the region of the Paraíba interior, this study seeks to know the physical chemical profile of Mascagnia rigida in 3 regions of the Semi-arid region of Paraiba. In this perspective, a comparative study was carried out aimed at the “phytochemical characterization of Amorimia rigida in 3 regions of the Semiarid Paraibano”, and the findings revealed that in the quantitative analysis pH, acidity, humidity, ash, proteins and carbohydrates varied according to the place of removal of the sample, only lipids not differentiated from other phytochemical aspects, neither quantitative nor qualitative. Observing the composition of the plant and its variation makes room for the effect on how it can affect its action on organisms. Finally, it‟s worth considering the climatic and soil differences that may be linked to this finding, although it is the same object under study, it was taken from different environments.
