Modification of the chemical profile of essential oils for the extraction process via hidrodestilação

摘要

Modification of the chemical profile of essential oils for the extraction process via hidrodestilação.The present invention is a method that obtains essential oils and chemically modified during the process of extraction for hidrodestilação,Where the oils are obtained in basic or acid or in the presence of oxidizing agents, having as main objective to search new volatile organic molecules of pharmacological interest.From products of the reactions of hydrolysis.Oxidative cleavage of the metabolites present in the extraction of volatile oils and also connected to the cell wall of plants or other compounds by reaction of hydrolysis.It is usually not obtained by the conventional method of hidrodestilação.As an example of applicability has been obtained essential oils of the leaves of Piper marginatum chemically modified during the process of extraction and modified oils presented better activity anTimicrobiana compared as oil without chemical modification.
