  ABSTRACT: The spectral fluorescence characteristics of extracts leaves embedded in silica xerogel matrix promoted by aged time was studied. We obtain a higher PSII stability for extract of leaves embedded in xerogel matrix, with concentration of 8 g / 20 ml and water to TEOS molar ratio of 11, which remain bioactive over a very long period of time, whereas for a water to TEOS molar ratio of 5 a blue-shift fluorescence is observed indicating the PSII denaturizing and formation of fluorescing aggregates associated with the activation of carotenoids radicals.
