“…The harmful impact of free radicals arises when they are present in excessive amounts, leading to an inability to neutralize these compounds. Therefore, it is essential to consume dietary sources of antioxidants, which are vital for maintaining the quality of life and longevity of individuals (LAMARÃO et al, 2020).…”

Açaí is a native Amazonian plant rich in antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols, anthocyanins and phenolic compounds, substances capable of neutralizing oxidative stress and helping to prevent various diseases. As a result, there has been much discussion about its use as a functional food. One alternative for the industry is the commercialization of dried extracts from plants. To this end, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant action of powdered açaí extract, in order to assess the composition of phenolics and DPPH present in a dry extract of açaí. The extracts evaluated were called samples A and B. In both tests, Sample A obtained lower values than Sample B for both phenolic compounds (6.42 ± 0.12) and DPPH antioxidant capacity (20.69 ± 0.16). In this context, it is necessary to investigate more rigorously the composition and efficacy of extracts made from açaí pulp and sold on the market, in order to provide consumers with a safer guarantee of the bioactive compounds present in the food.

Systematic Mapping of the Production Chain of “Bacuri” (Platonia insignis Mart.) in Brazil

et al. 2022

The Amazon contains the most significant number of known species on the planet, where fruits with peculiar characteristics can be found. The bacuri (Platonia insignis) is a native fruit of this region and has gained prominence over the years. A data survey was conducted to understand the bacuri production chain system and its economic potential. The results show that the popularity of the fruit has led to an increase in consumer demand and its price over the years. In addition, the mapping shows that this production chain needs a well-defined structure. Its current organization consists of the activities of associations and cooperatives that, over time, have assumed the integration between producers, industry, and the consumer market. This study also identified a gap in the official censuses and a need for studies to quantify production within the scope of small producers, aiming for more effective monitoring that allows the development and direction of policies that can support producers to strengthen this important production chain.

The Amazon forest has the largest biome on the planet, and it is estimated that only 16 to 20% of the identified animal, and plant biodiversity. Considering plant diversity, we will highlight the biological properties of the fruits extracts of Arecaceae, Caryocaraceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae, Sapindaceae, and Solanaceae’s families due to their significant biological actions. This review presents the antioxidant, glycemic control, and neuroprotective activities from ten fruit extracts distributed in six botanical families in the Amazon region. We obtained 801 publications (described from 2010 to 2020), of which 64 articles were selected by the benchmark previously chosen. The antioxidant effect was the dominant effect observed in the studies used for this review, followed by glycemic control and protective actions in neurons. This review provides a synopsis of the recent literature exploring the extracts from native fruits to the Amazon region that could efficiently prevent pathologies associated with oxidative stress, and cellular maintenance mechanisms.
