“…The phenolic compounds found in the fruits and leaves of guabiroba tree are related to the solvent used for extraction. Anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, delphinidin-3-Oglucoside, and pelargonidin-3,5-diglucoside), phenolic acids (caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid), and flavonoids (quercetin, myricitrin, rutin) were also found in high concentrations in this plant (de Oliveira Raphaelli et al, 2021). Some authors fractionated the C. xanthocarpa extracts and identified various components, including 2',4'-dihydroxy-5 '-methyl-6'methoxychalcone;2',4'-dihydoxy-3',5'-dimethyl-6'-methoxychalcone; 2'-hydroxy-3'-methyl-4',6'-dimethoxychalcone;2',6'dihydroxy-3'-methyl-4'-methoxychalcone;5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-8methylflavanone; and 7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6methylflavanone (Salmazzo et al, 2019).…”

Campomanesia xanthocarpa Berg. (Myrtaceae), also known as “guabiroba”, is widely distributed in the South and Southern regions of Brazil and has been used by local families as folk medicine to treat several diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the bioactive compounds of guabiroba fruits and leaves, such as flavonoids, carotenoids, chlorophyll, total phenolics, tannins, and coumarins. The biological effect of different parts of C. xanthocarpa (leaf and pulp) was also investigated for the immunomodulatory activity on RAW 264.7 macrophages, and anti-cancer effects on H295R adrenocortical cells under different concentrations and extraction protocols. Extracts from guabiroba leaves and pulp using 70% ethanol and n-hexane as a solvent by magnetic stirring, as well as ethanolic extracts from leaves and pulp obtained by heat reflux extraction were produced. Most of the bioactive compounds were found in the leaves rather than the fruit pulp. The in vitro assays showed that the leaf extraction with hexane affected the viability assay in the adrenocortical cell line H295R, while the pulp extracted with hexane activated the macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Therefore, C. xanthocarpa leaves and pulp have proven to affect macrophage and adrenocortical cell lines in a dose-dependent manner.

“…Guabiroba is a yellow-orange fruit with acid and sweet flavor, which can be consumed fresh or processed as jelly, ice cream, liquor or tea (7) . The fresh fruits of guabiroba have a moisture content varying between 79-83% (w/w), 8-16% carbohydrates, 6 to 10% fiber, 1 to 5.5% proteins, and 0.1 to 3.7% lipids.…”

“…The biological effects of guabiroba consist of antiproliferative, anti-obesity, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities (7) . The compound 5-hydroxy-7methoxy-8-methylflavanone isolated from guabiroba extracts proved to be effective against melanoma, breast, ovarian, kidney, lung, prostate and colon cells, without being toxic to vero cells (normal cell), showing antiproliferative activity of these extracts (62) .…”

Brazilian native fruit trees have great potential for their use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Among these, the Myrtaceae family stand out for the diversity of known native fruits, as the case of “araçazeiro” or cattley guava [Psidium cattleianum], “pitangueira”, Suriname cherry or Brazilian cherry [Eugenia uniflora], “guabijuzeiro” [Myrcianthes pungens], “guabirobeira” [Campomanesia xanthocarpa] and “uvalheira” [Eugenia pyriformis]. These fruits contain substances of nutritional and potentially functional importance, including dietary fiber, vitamins (especially A and C) and minerals (potassium, iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus), as well as antioxidant compounds, such as phenolics and carotenoids. The consumption of fruits rich in bioactive compounds and high antioxidant activity has the potential to prevent chronic non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemias, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory diseases. For example, Suriname cherry and cattley guava fruit extracts showed anti-hyperglycemic, antidyslipidemic and antioxidant effects in animal models with insulin resistance, cattley guava also showed anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging activities. “Uvaia” has a promising effect as an antimicrobial agent. In this review, summarized information on the main native fruits of the Myrtaceae is presented, highlighting their composition and biological activities in order to direct new research.

“…Among them, the uvaia ( Eugenia pyriformis Cambess), the feijoa, also known as “highland guava” ( Acca sellowiana ), the orange passion fruit ( Passiflora caerulea ), the red araçá ( Psidium cattleyanum ), the guabiroba ( Campomanesia xanthocarpa ), and the jaboticaba ( Plinia trunciflora ) are the ones that draw the most attention. These fruit species have been acknowledged for their functional properties because of their high antioxidant activity and considerable amounts of phenolic compounds, pigments, vitamins, and minerals (de Neves et al, 2021; de Raphaelli et al, 2021; dos Pereira et al, 2020; Reis, Facco, Flôres, & de Rios, 2018; Sganzerla et al, 2021; Zhu, 2018). In this way, the use of native fruits can be an interesting strategy for the development of differentiated vinegars, promoting added value and the strengthening of the productive chain of these fruits.…”

Although vinegar has been consumed since ancient times, the demand for developing this product from unconventional fruits has increased in recent years. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate the perception of consumers in the South Region of Brazil regarding vinegar and explore the potential of regional raw materials for its production. The study was carried out with a total of 1,970 participants using an online questionnaire divided into five sections. Through word association technique, it was noted that age group influenced on the perception experienced by those participants who are regular consumers of vinegar regarding its attributes and properties. Moreover, the type of vinegar consumed was correlated with the income of the participants. Moreover, some fruits native to the South Region of Brazil, such as jaboticaba, orange passion fruit, red araçá, uvaia, guabiroba, and feijoa, showed great potential for application in vinegar production. Practical applications This study identified the factors that influence on consumer perception experienced by people who regularly consume vinegar, as well as their attitudes related to its use, consumption, and application. Besides, it showed the importance of applying new raw materials in the vinegar preparation process, highlighting the potential of native fruits from the South Region of Brazil, thus providing relevant information for the vinegar market and an opportunity for the development of new products.
