In the last years the seringueira latex has been received great attention from scientific community, particularly for its biomedical application, which can promote tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and others. However, based on some reports concerning allergic reaction, there has been increasing attention to search similar biomaterials with lower allergenic potential. Therefore, the present work, evaluated the potential of manganeira latex aiming a biomedical and technological applications. Biomembranes were prepared in a controlled manner, and were evaluated for their physical-chemistry characterization (FTIR, CHN, and TG) and its potential as a host matrix for photoluminescent compounds. Furthermore, bioassays were carried out of cell viability and genotoxicity. The results show that mangabeira biomembranes ares structurally similar to seringueira's and also show potential for use in biomedical and technological areas.
