Resumo
The Scaptotrigona Aff Postica bee is an insect stingless belonging to Apidae family and
subfamily Meliponinae. This genus occurs throughout in Neotropics. In Brazil, it is found in
the northeastern mainly in the Barra do Corda County (Maranhão). Specifically, the extract of
propolis produced by this bee have several medical applications. It is used in the healing of
wounds with an inflammatory process and in treatment of prostate tumors as well as food
supplement [1-3].
Considering its importance in medicinal use and the great variability in relation to botanical
origin, its standardization in relation to the dosage of ions and metal is important to meet the
different medical applications. The objective of this investigation was to perform a
multielemental characterization using Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and
Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) techniques. The neutron activation
measurement was performed in the nuclear reactor (IEA-R1, 3-4 MW, at IPEN) and XRF data
were obtained using a mini - X Ray spectrometer with Ag and Au targets.
These data increase the knowledge of its inorganic components and can introduce
improvements in the production these the extracts, mainly as regards to toxicity. Moreover,
considering that the demand for natural products has increase (Brazil stands out as world
exporter of honey and derivatives), these data also contributes for checking the quality and food
safety.
