“…Nestas localidades, o fruto é conhecido como "bilimbi", "bilimbino", "biri-biri", "amarela de caramboleira", "azedinha" ou "limão caiena". 2,3 O suco tem níveis elevados de ácido oxálico, em torno de 857 mg a 1000 mg/100 g do fruto, 4,5 podendo ser usado para remover manchas de ferrugem em roupas e dar brilho a utilitários metálicos. 2 Esse fruto é muito azedo e é utilizado na produção de vinagre, picles, geleias e no preparo de pratos no sul da Índia.…”

“…Scarce scientific studies have characterized araçá-boi, abiu grande, araticum, biri-biri and yellow mangosteen fruits. The bioactive compounds and total antioxidant activity have been determined in abiu [ 6 , 7 ], cowberry [ 3 , 7 , 8 ], biri-biri [ 9 ], araticum [ 10 , 11 ] and yellow mangosteen [ 3 ]. Araçá-boi is characterized by its high content of phenolic compounds, flavonoids and antioxidant activity [ 1 ], as well as carotenoids [ 3 ] and antimutagenic and antigenotoxic activity [ 12 ].…”

This study aimed to analyze the physicochemical characteristics and the effects of Amazonian pulp fruits consumption, such as araçá-boi (Eugenia stipitata), abiu grande (Pouteria caimito), araticum (Annona crassiflora), biri-biri (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), and yellow mangosteen (Garcinia xanthochymus), on hematologic, metabolic, renal, and hepatic function parameters in Wistar rats (n = 10 rats/group). The pulp of abiu had the highest levels of soluble solids, sugars, and pH. Biri-biri pulp had the highest levels of ascorbic acid and total titratable acidity, and a low pH. The araticum pulp had higher (p ≤ 0.05) ash content, total phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity than the pulp of other analyzed fruits. No significant increase in hematocrit, nor reduction of blood glucose, plasma cholesterol, and serum levels of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (TGP), creatinine, and urea was observed in experimental groups relative to the control group of rats after the consumption of fruits pulp. The intake of abiu and araticum pulps promoted a significant reduction (p ≤ 0.05) in total leukocytes of the experimental groups as compared to the control group and only the intake of araticum significantly increased (p ≤ 0.05) triglyceride blood levels in rats (99.50 mg/dL). The regular consumption of biri-biri pulp for 30 days significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (TGO) levels in rats (116.83 U/L) compared to the control group (98.00 U/L). More researches are needed to generate knowledge about these promising Amazonian fruits, supporting the native fruit production, in addition to promoting health in the population and sustainability in the Amazon region.

“…Averrhoa bilimbi , also known as bilimbi fruit, cucumber tree, or tree sorrel, belongs to the Averrhoa carambola family Oxalidacae, with probable origin in Southeast Asian [ 8 , 9 ]. Bilimbi fruit is cylindrical, with five, rounded, longitudinal lobes, produced in clusters, and has a yellowish green color when ripe (Fig.…”

“…Due to its high acidity when immature, bilimbi fruit is usually used in the production of vinegars, pickles, and as a substitute for lemon in seasoning. When ripe, the fruit can be consumed fresh or cooked in the form of compote or jam [ 8 , 9 ]. The juice is rich in vitamin C and oxalic acid [ 9 ].…”

Introduction: The toxic effects of the ingestion of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) in chronic kidney disease patients are well described in the literature. Recently, the compound caramboxin has been isolated, explaining the mechanisms of its neurotoxicity. Bilimbi fruit belongs to the family Oxalidaceae, Averrhoa bilimbi species, and exhibits similar biochemical characteristics to star fruit. Objective: To report the case of a patient with chronic kidney disease who developed a seizure disorder after the ingestion of bilimbi fruit. Case Report: A 69-year-old man with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis therapy had intractable hiccups, myoclonus, and generalized tonic-clonic seizures after the consumption of a moderate amount of bilimbi fruit. The electroencephalogram showed a pattern of seizure disorder despite the use of anticonvulsant drugs. Renal replacement therapy was maintained during the whole period and prescribed according to the patient’s hemodynamic status. Despite showing clinical resolution of the seizure disorder, the patient died on the 27th day of hospitalization for infectious complications. Conclusions: The neurologic status without any other known cause and with clear temporal association with the ingestion of the fruit suggests the diagnosis of neurotoxicity. We propose the hypothesis that the bilimbi fruit has neurotoxic effects similar to those exhibited by the star fruit.
