Phenolic compounds, mainly represented by flavonoids, tannins and coumarins, bioactive molecules with various applications, have antioxidant, photoprotective, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and even antitumor properties. The main mechanism of action of phenolic compounds is due to the transfer of electrons to free radicals, which leads to the interruption of oxidative reactions. The flora of the Brazilian caatinga is full of species with high concentrations of these compounds, which are possibilities for researching new pharmaceutical products and functional foods, and may even generate technological and economic impact, contributing directly or indirectly to the development of communities that are inserted in this context. This is extremely important, considering the large amount of ecotoxic residues resulting from the industrial chain, where it is necessary to use methods to reduce this impact on the environment, such as adsorption, oxidation, biotransformation, liquid–liquid partition and hybrid techniques. This shows the need to reuse this waste and even improve production processes in order to make the most of the content of these compounds with varied applications that sometimes end up being underused. This chapter brings some of the main species involved in this context, their contributions to health and possible applications at a technological, industrial and even sustainable level.

“…Semi-arid regions of emerging countries generally have low rates of socioeconomic development, which leads the population of these areas to indiscriminately exploit the natural resources of native vegetation (Silva et al, 2016b). This gives rise to environmental imbalance that can influence the epidemiological aspects of vector-borne diseases such as dengue, leishmaniases and Chagas disease.…”

Visceral leishmaniasis is a parasitic zoonosis that mainly affects poorest and most vulnerable populations, and domestic dogs are considered to be the main source of infection to the vector and therefore humans. However, several studies have investigated the role of other vertebrate hosts in the disease cycle. In this context, the aim of the present study was to conduct a survey of Leishmania infantum infection in donkeys and mules living in a semiarid region of Brazil. Whole blood sampled from 72 equids (65 donkeys and 7 mules) was used to perform molecular diagnosis using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technique. A total of 25% of the samples (18/72) were positive through qPCR, but there were no significant differences between the species (donkeys or mules), sex (male or female) and abandonment situation of the animals (yes or no). Donkeys and mules living under semiarid conditions have high frequency of L. infantum infection. It is therefore worth assigning importance to these species in the epidemiological cycle of visceral leishmaniasis, either as potential reservoirs or just as an abundant food source for vectors.

“…Segundo Silva et al (2016) é essencial que haja uma valorização desse bioma para que exista possibilidades de solucionar os graves problemas ambientais e sociais observados na região semiárida, para tal, é necessária uma educação ambiental de teor crítico para o reconhecimento e utilização de todo o seu potencial, possibilitando a sua conservação e garantindo a qualidade de vida dessa e das demais gerações.…”

O objetivo do trabalho foi à elaboração e caracterização física e química de um produto farináceo produzido a partir das folhas do umbuzeiro (Spondias tuberosa Arruda) utilizando diferentes métodos de secagem. Os procedimentos experimentais consistiram em produção de farinhas a partir da secagem de 30 g de folhas em estufa de circulação de ar à 60 °C por 6 h e em forno micro-ondas (FMO) com potência de 100% em ciclo único de 2 min e 30 s. Os parâmetros físicos e químicos avaliados tanto nas folhas in natura, quanto nas farinhas elaboradas foram: teor de água (TA), atividade de água, pH, sólidos solúveis totais (SST), proteína bruta (PB), resíduo mineral fixo (RMF) e quantificação de minerais. O valor médio de TA da folha do umbuzeiro in natura (75,06%) foi superior ao encontrado nas farinhas, que apresentaram valores próximos entre si, em torno de 6,00%, bem como os valores de atividade de água, sendo para as folhas in natura (0,987), farinha em estufa (0,330) e farinha em FMO (0,323). As farinhas analisadas apresentaram ainda, pH ácido, valores de SST de 7,17 °Brix (estufa) e 10,27 °Brix (FMO), percentual de PB de 9,00% (estufa) e 8,60% (FMO). Além de valores de RMF (acima de 12,00%) indicando elevado teor mineral, com destaque para o Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Zn e Cu. O processo de secagem mostrou-se viável, produzindo farinhas com valores de TA dentro das normas vigentes e rendimentos semelhantes para os dois métodos de secagem empregados (23,0%).
