Garrafada: uma prática cultural brasileira construída pela qualidade de saberes ancestrais.

Abstract

Brazil has the predominant feature of the diversity of flora and fauna in the regions, at the same time with racial ethnic diversity due to the fusion of indigenous peoples, Africans and colonizers, which the transmission of ancestral knowledge, orally mediated between generations, made possible an evolution in the area of health with natural products and their derivatives such as tea, licker, tincture, gargle, poultice, inhalation, poultices and, more relevant to bottled research. In this way, the work aims to investigate the process of quality control in the entry of these products in the market of the state of Goiás, produced by the quilombola community of Kalunga - GO, exalting the knowledge passed down by ancestors during its preparation, even more because the product depends on the stock cultivation for effectiveness in therapeutic purposes. From the current context, the work has as study place the quilombo Kalunga -GO, with the action research methodology, seeking the interconnection of theory with practice, having the analysis and interpretation of academic studies, finally with the interviews as data collection instruments. During data collection, it can be seen that the bottles consist of several basic internal procedures in their preparation, depending on the drink to be used, ensuring the quality of the products, such as identifying symptoms, harvesting, cleaning, drying, cutting, storage, handling , conservation and sale. Even though bottles are used by the population, research is lacking, causing their extinction in the future and the lack of interest of younger people. It should be noted that the bottles are important in the scientific world because they are about Afro-Brazilian history and science.
