(Benth.) Epling: a study involving extraction, chemical profiling, antioxidant and biological activity.

is a plant of the Lamiaceae family which is restricted to the Southern region of Brazil. It is popularly used as an insecticide, but knowledge on it is very scarce. This study aimed to determine the chemical markers of extracts obtained via ultrasound-assisted (UAE-EtOH) and supercritical fluid (SFE-CO) extractions.

Food Value and Safety Status of Raw (Unfermented) and Fermented Higher Basidiomycetes, (L) P. Karsten.

Food value and safety of a wild macrofungus, were investigated. The proximate and mineral composition of raw and fermented were assessed using standard methods. Brine shrimp lethality bioassay was adopted for assessment of the toxicological property of the extracts obtained from raw and fermented .
