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 propolis produced by this bee
have several medical applications: it is used in the healing of wounds with an inflammatory process,
in treatment of prostate tumors and, it has activity against herpes and rubella virus. Considering its
importance in medicinal use and the great variability in relation to botanical origin, its
standardization in relation to the dosage of inorganic elements is important to meet the different
medical applications. The objective of this investigation was to perform its multielemental
characterization using Neutron Activation Analysis technique. The measurements were performed
using the IEA - R1 nuclear reactor at IPEN - CNEN/SP, Brasil. These data increase the knowledge
of its inorganic components and can introduce improvements in the production these extracts of
propolis, mainly as regards to toxicity.
