Estudo químico de óleos essenciais, oleaginosas e látices da Amazônia. I. Composição e oxidação do óleo de uma espécie de Copaifera (Nota prévia).

Abstract

Preliminar note on a study of the resta oil (from the trunk) and the seed oil from a species of Copaifera was done, using the analytical methods known as GC/MS and HPLC and the volumetric method. This work was developed at the Divisão de Química of the INPA in collaboration with the Departamento de Química of the UPCe with the purpose to identify the chemical components and to establish the kinetic control of auto oxidation with and without the addition of antioxidants and synergistic agents.
