Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial antifúngico contra o fungo Aspergillus flavus, dos extratos de folhas de Eucalyptus staigeriana F. Muell., preparados a partir de folhas frescas, liofilizadas e secas ao ambiente, sob diferentes tempos de extração e por diferentes solventes extratores, tais como metanol, etanol e água a temperatura ambiente e água a 60ºC. Para mensurar o potencial antifúngico foi utilizada a técnica de poisoned food em meio BDA e o crescimento radial fúngico foi avaliado por seis dias. O percentual de inibição foi avaliado comparando-se as medidas do diâmetro radial de crescimento fúngico dos extratos com as placas controle contendo apenas os solventes. Como controle positivo foi utilizado o óleo essencial de E. staigeriana. Os extratos metanólicos apresentaram o melhor potencial antifúngico, seguido pelos extratos etanólicos e aquosos. A utilização das folhas frescas mostrou-se a melhor forma de preparação e não houve diferença significativa entre os tempos de extração 1h e 24h, indicando como processamento mais viável a extração em 1h. A Concentração Inibitória Mínima (MIC) foi mensurada para o extrato de melhor desempenho pela técnica de micropoços, aonde o crescimento fúngico foi monitorado por fluorescência derivada da reação da esterase fúngica com o diacetado de fluorescina. E o extrato que obteve o melhor resultado foi o extrato metanólico, com 1h de extração, a partir de folhas liofilizadas de E. staigeriana, e sua MIC foi de 26,75 L/mL, enquanto a do seu óleo essencial foi de 12,5 L/mL, demonstrando a eficiência relativa da extração com solventes extratores e sua praticidade e operacionalidade, quando se comparam com a extração de óleos essenciais.

Abstract in English
This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal potential of Eucalyptus staigeriana F. Muell. leaf extracts against Aspergillus flavus. The extracts were prepared using fresh, lyophilized, and air-dried leaves, different extraction times, and different solvents, such as methanol, ethanol, water at room temperature, and water at 60ºC. To measure the antifungal potential, the poisoned food technique was used in PDA medium, and the radial growth of the fungus was evaluated for six days. The percentage of inhibition was assessed by comparing the measurements of the radial growth diameter of the fungus in the extracts with the control plates containing only the solvents. The essential oil of E. staigeriana was used as a positive control. The methanolic extracts presented the best antifungal potential, followed by the ethanolic and aqueous extracts. The use of fresh leaves was the best type of preparation and no statistically significant difference between 1-h and 24-h solvent extraction was found, indicating the 1-h extraction process as the most feasible. The extract presenting the best performance using the microwell technique had the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measured, and the fungal growth was monitored by fluorescence derived from the fungal esterase reaction with fluorescein diacetate. The extract that achieved the best result the methanolic extract, with 1-h extraction from lyophilized leaves of E. staigeriana, and the MIC was 26.75 L/mL, while the essential oil was 12.5 L/mL, demonstrating the relative efficiency of the solvent extraction and its practicality and easy implementation when compared with the extraction of essential oils.
