| Sumario: | Plants have a history of traditional use for their culinary effect, as well as their ability to prevent and treat diseases. They contain a wide variety of secondary metabolites commonlylabeled as phytochemicals, which may function to reduce the statistics of chronic diseases. In the present research, a literature review was conducted and analyzed on the Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng (Oreganon), Eryngium foetidum L(Parsley), Coriandrum sativum L (Coriander), Mentha spicata L. (Good Herb), and Ocimum basilicum L (Albaca) species from home gardens of an indigenous community of Olcuatitán in the municipality of Nacajuca Tabasco. The X-ray diffractionmethod (XRD) was used as an accurate and complete method to determine the identity and structure of new or known compounds, and therefore vital for research in chemistry. Using micro-proton induced X-ray emission to determine the composition of the leaves of these plants, previously unreported compounds such as pyrazole and n Poly (trimethylcellulose)among others, were detected in the species studied. These compounds can be used for a broad spectrum of drugsas they contain medicinal properties and play an important role in people, as they have a great source of chemical and bioactive compounds that favor human nutrition and thatthe information is available to the communities. |
