“…The physicochemical characteristics of the juçara pulp are presented in Table 2. The values for pH (Barros et al, 2015;Oliveira et al, 2018), acidity (Ribeiro;Mendes;Pereira, 2011;Schulz et al, 2020), moisture content (Silva et al, 2013), and ash (Ribeiro;Mendes;Pereira, 2011;Schulz et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2013) were similar to those reported by other studies. The lipid and protein contents were slightly lower than those reported in another study (Vieira et al, 2013).…”

Anthocyanins and phenolic compounds from fruits and vegetables can be extracted using emerging technologies such as ultrasound-assisted extraction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of temperature and ultrasonic power on the extraction of anthocyanins, phenolic compounds from the extracts of juçara pulp (Euterpe edulis M.). We also determined the antioxidant capacity of the extract and determined characteristics of the pulp. Bioactive compounds were extracted in an ultrasonic bath (25 kHz) at various temperatures (25, 32, 39, 46, 53 °C) and ultrasonic power (0, 360, 900 W). Juçara pulp had high total anthocyanin and phenolic content (298.86 ±27.68 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside/100 g and 1226.39 ±21.08 mg GAE/100 g on a wet basis, respectively). Cyanidin-3-rutinoside was the major anthocyanin in the extract, followed by cyanidin-3-glucoside, which were identified and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. For obtaining extracts rich in anthocyanins and phenolic compounds, we suggest that the extraction process should be performed at 25 °C without the application of ultrasonic waves. However, to obtain extracts with outstanding antioxidant capacity, an ultrasonic power of 360 W at a frequency of 25 kHz and a temperature of 25 °C should be used.

“…Nutrient-rich juices obtained from tropical fruits are gaining acceptance owing to the desire of consumers for healthy products whilst experiencing new and exotic flavors, and at the same time due to the focus of industry on producing beverages with health claims as a parameter of differentiation [8]. This fact is also influenced by the growing interest on the part of consumers in how fruits and their derivatives can help maintain health, and the role that diet plays in the prevention and treatment of many diseases [9].…”

Tropical and subtropical fruits are recognized as a source of a high content of bioactive compounds and health promoting properties due to their nutritional composition. These beneficial health effects are related to the content of several of these bioactive compounds, mainly flavonoids and non-flavonoid phenolics. Many of these compounds are common in different tropical fruits, such as epicatechin in mango, pineapple, and banana, or catechin in pineapple, cocoa or avocado. Many studies of tropical fruits had been carried out, but in this work an examination is made in the current literature of the flavonoids and non-flavonoid phenolics content of some tropical fruits and their coproducts, comparing the content in the same units, as well as examining the role that these compounds play in health benefits.

“…Folate metabolism generates the universal methyl donor S-adenosyl methionine, necessary DNA, and histone methylation. Low paternal folate intake may alter the sperm epigenome and result in adverse pregnancy outcomes [ 106 , 108 ]. Lambrot et al (2013) showed that a man’s folate deficiency diet alters sperm DNA methylation at genes implicated in the development and metabolic processes [ 109 ].…”

“…The functional analysis of the altered sperm methylome suggests that the offspring may be at increased risk for later chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cancer [ 144 ]. Another study has shown that a lifetime exposure of male mice to both folic acid deficient (0.3 mg/kg) and supplemented in excess (40 mg/kg) diets result in decreased sperm counts, adverse outcomes in their offspring, and evidence of epigenetic alterations as altered imprinted gene methylation [ 108 ]. This unbalance is a key aspect when considering supplementing future fathers with micronutrients, as both dietary deficiencies and excess may lead to the same deleterious outcomes.…”

Effect of Paternal Diet on Spermatogenesis and Offspring Health: Focus on Epigenetics and Interventions with Food Bioactive Compounds

Infertility is a growing public health problem. Consumption of antioxidant bioactive food compounds (BFCs) that include micronutrients and non-nutrients has been highlighted as a potential strategy to protect against oxidative and inflammatory damage in the male reproductive system induced by obesity, alcohol, and toxicants and, thus, improve spermatogenesis and the fertility parameters. Paternal consumption of such dietary compounds could not only benefit the fathers but their offspring as well. Studies in the new field of paternal origins of health and disease show that paternal malnutrition can alter sperm epigenome, and this can alter fetal development and program an increased risk of metabolic diseases and breast cancer in adulthood. BFCs, such as ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol, polyunsaturated fatty acids, trace elements, carnitines, N-acetylcysteine, and coenzyme Q10, have been shown to improve male gametogenesis, modulate epigenetics of germ cells, and the epigenetic signature of the offspring, restoring offspring metabolic health induced by stressors during early life. This indicates that, from a father’s perspective, preconception is a valuable window of opportunity to start potential nutritional interventions with these BFCs to maximize sperm epigenetic integrity and promote adequate fetal growth and development, thus preventing chronic disease in adulthood.
