Chemical characterization of Eugenia stipitata: A native fruit from the Amazon rich in nutrients and source of bioactive compounds

Bioactive compounds and functional properties of Rambai (Baccaurea motleyana Müll. Arg.) fruit: A comprehensive review

“…Phenolics are nonnutritive compounds that are found in fruits and vegetables and play a significant role in health maintenance (Araújo et al, 2021). They are divided into several classes including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and their hydrolyzed products and derivatives (Rakariyatham et al., 2020).…”

“…In contrast to commercial fruits, underutilized fruits have gained less interest, probably due to a lack of awareness of their significant benefits (Mirfat et al., 2018). However, the popularity of exotic tropical fruits has risen in recent years in both national and international markets due to awareness about their nutritional worth and link to well‐being (Araújo et al, 2021).…”

Physicochemical Properties and Effects of Fruit Pulps from the Amazon Biome on Physiological Parameters in Rats

“…Brazil is the third largest producer of fruits in the world, and Amazonian fruits are known to contain bioactive compounds. However, despite their high nutritional value and potential for promoting health benefits, these fruits are still relatively unexplored [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The production and commercialization of açai is currently notable in the Amazon biome, due to its bioactive and antioxidant potential [ 4 ].…”

“…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 ]. Araticum, besides having a high carotenoid content, is an excellent source of vitamins C and A [ 13 ], and a study by Virgolin et al [ 3 ] showed a high content of yellow flavonoids (flavonones and flavonols) in yellow mangosteen.…”
