Propiedades biológicas y farmacológicas en los aceites esenciales de semillas oleaginosas

Essential oils are mixtures of aromatic substances obtained from various plants, where about 4000 different spices are known in the world. Although not all plants contain this substance, most of their seeds are an important source of oils, which has generated interest in scientific research, food industry and pharmaceutical industry due to their high properties. The objetive was to analyze the biological and pharmacological properties of essential oils from oliseeds. This Project has been elaborated by collecting all kinds of information through research and analysis of varius websites, books, scientific articles, journals available on varius digital platforms. This Project addresses the development of plants such as sunflower, soybean and avocado for essential oils, highlighting their characteristics benefits and possible uses. It is mentioned that sunflower is a herbaceous plant, where we can extract its essential oils that includes nutritional properties such as polyunsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial to health. In addition, it is highlighted that soybean essential oils has isoflavones that provide benefits for the skin, prevent cardiovascular diseases and reduce csholesterol levels, among other posstive effects. On the other hand, avocado essential oil stands out for its anticarcinogenic and antioxidant properties, as well as its ability to block the growth of cancer cells. The importance of these essential oils in various industries, such as food and cosmetics, is also mentioned, due to their antioxidant activity and beneficial properties. It is also noted that Ecuador has been an important exporter and importer of essential oils, with an estimated growth in world production by 2025.

Los aceites esenciales son mezclas de sustancias aromáticas obtenidas de diversas plantas, donde se conocen alrededor de 4000 especias distintas en el mundo. Aunque no todas las plantas contienen esta sustancia, la mayoría de sus semillas son una fuente importante de aceites, lo que ha generado interés en la investigación científica, industria alimentaria y la industria farmacéutica debido a sus altas propiedades que poseen. El objetivo planteado fue Analizar las propiedades biológicas y farmacológicas en los aceites esenciales de semillas oleaginosas. Este proyecto ha sido elaborado recopilando todo tipo de información a través de la investigación y análisis de diversos sitios webs, libros, artículos científicos, revistas disponibles en diversas plataformas digitales. Este proyecto aborda el desarrollo de plantas como el girasol, la soya y el aguacate para aceites esenciales, destacando sus características, beneficios y posibles usos. Se menciona que el girasol es una planta herbácea, donde podemos extraer su aceite esencial que comprende propiedades nutritivas como ácidos grasos poliinsaturados que son beneficiosos en la salud. Además, se resalta que el aceite esencial de soya presenta isoflavonas que brindan beneficios para la piel, previenen enfermedades cardiovasculares y reducen los niveles de colesterol, entre otros efectos positivos. Por otro lado, el aceite esencial de aguacate se destaca por sus propiedades anticancerígenas y antioxidantes, así como su capacidad para bloquear el crecimiento de células cancerosas. A su vez se menciona la importancia de estos aceites esenciales en diversas industrias, como la alimentaria y cosmética, debido a su actividad antioxidante y propiedades beneficiosas. Además, se señala que Ecuador ha sido un importante exportador e importador de aceites esenciales, con un crecimiento estimado en la producción mundial para el año 2025.
