Resumo(s)

The dried leaves of Fraxinus angustifolia and the dried shoots of Mentha suaveolens are used by the population of the Tras-os-Montes, which is a region located in the northeast of Portugal. to prepare hot water extracts due to their therapeutic properties. Recently, the contribution of potysaccharides for the therapeutic properties often attributed to various plants hot water extracts has been highlighted. This work will provide a structural characterization of the polysaccharides present in these hot water extracts and will also evaluate their possible macrophage immunostimutatory activity, which might contribute for the therapeutic properties reported for these hot water extracts.
