    Degree in Biological Sciences from the Regional University of Blumenau - FURB. I worked in Extension Scholarships at the university, such as the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships - PIBID in a Science Club in a public school, teacher training projects and educational practices for students in a hybrid space of innovation and prevention and disaster risk mitigation. I also participated in studies of the Common Base National Curriculum - BNCC in the Higher Education Program for Regional Development - PROESDE. I am currently a researcher in the master's degree in the Postgraduate Program in Teaching Natural Sciences and Mathematics - PPGECIM in the context of the research line “Media and Technologies in the Teaching of Natural Sciences and Mathematicsâ€, developing an investigation about the use of Digital Technologies for Scientific Literacy in Science Clubs, which allows the approximation between student, nature and technology. I am working as a volunteer in an extension project for teacher training and educational practices for Science Clubs, in the preparation of a collection of booklets with research activities for club members.

Abstract

The use of medicinal plants as a therapeutic alternative is growing in society. The species Miconia albicans, popularly known as old cinnamon, is being consumed in several regions of the country, as it has anti-inflammatory action. This work evaluated the volatile constituents and the quality of five samples of M. albicans teas, acquired in commercial environments in the city of Jaraguá do Sul. The information on their labels were compared and the presence of foreign matter, microorganisms, moisture content, and total ash were determined. The characterization of phenolic compounds in the samples was performed using HPLC-LC-ESI-MS / MS. Toxicity was assessed with Artemia salina larvae. Some samples showed irregularities regarding the specifications of packaging labels. The results of quality control of the vegetable raw material have shown to be in accordance with the specifications described in the Brazilian Pharmacopeia. The phenolic compounds analysis of five samples, as well as the phytochemical profile consistent with the species under study. The analyzed samples are potentially cytotoxic, which makes the species promising for future studies in the cancer’s treatment.
