Conclusões
Nos últimos anos, o interesse nas fontes de raízes vegetais como ingredientes ativos para uso cosmético vem crescendo significantemente. As raízes desempenham papel importante no vegetal porque ancoram e suportam o crescimento, transportando água e íons captados no solo e armazenando produtos da fotossíntese.1
As raízes também produzem uma série de moléculas responsáveis pelo surgimento dos brotos, como fito-hormônios, além de proteger a planta contra o ataque de fungos e nematoides do solo, como os flavonoides.2 Os flavonoides e metabólitos secundários são fundamentais como moléculas sinalizadoras dentro do ecossistema do solo e da rizosfera, mantendo as interações corretas com os organismos vivos que circundam a planta, para assegurar sua sobrevida e proteger seu
