Aqueous extract, Mathematical models, Phytochemical profileAbstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical profile, predict drying kinetics, and quantify the content of total phenolics and flavonoids present in the aqueous extract of the bulb of scamiform leaves of Allium cepa L. The plant material was collected in the municipality of São Luís (MA). For the preparation of the aqueous extract, the cold maceration process was used using distilled water as a solvent. For the study of the drying kinetics, 10 g of the material in natura was submitted to a convective air oven at 45 °C/4h. The statistical parameters were determined by nonlinear regression using the Statistica 10.0software, using the Quasi-Newton method. To determine the total phenolic content, the Folin-Ciocalteu methodology was used. And for the total flavonoids, the aluminum complexation assay was used. The determination of phenolics and total flavonoids revealed significant quantities in the extract, with values of 106.54 mg EAT g-1 and 26.36 mg EAT g-1, respectively. According to the prediction of the statistical data, it was verified that the mathematical methods of Midilli-Kucuk and Verma proved to be adequate to describe the drying process of Allium cepa L. Through the results obtained, the mathematical model was determined for the drying kinetics of the squamous leaf bulb Allium cepa L, in addition to attesting the presence of secondary metabolites, thus making the product fit for biologically active activities.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
