“…The consumption of guavira industrial residue flour attenuated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by a high-calorie diet. The authors suggested that this effect may be due to this flour high fibre content and bioactive compounds ( 45 ). Interestingly, in their study, there was no statistical difference in the oral glucose tolerance test between groups.…”

Research background: The extensive cultivation of bananas (Musa sp.) is related to producing tons of residues, such as leaves, pseudostems, and bracts (inflorescences). The banana bract is a commercially interesting residue due to its dietary fiber content and high antioxidant potential. In this scenario, this study evaluated the effects of administering banana bract flour in animal models fed a cafeteria diet. Experimental approach: Thirty-two male rats were segmented into 4 groups: 1) control diet, 2) control diet with 10 % banana bract flour, 3) hypercaloric diet, and 4) hypercaloric diet with 10 % bract flour of banana. The study was conducted for 12 weeks and included analysis of phenolic compounds, assessment of the antioxidant effect of banana bract flour, determination of serum biochemical parameters (glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, AST, ALT, amylase albumin, uric acid, creatine, total protein, and oral glucose), determination of faecal fat content, and histomorphological analysis of the liver, pancreas, and adipose tissue. In addition, molecular parameters such as IL6, total and phosphorylated JNK, total and phosphorylated IKKβ, TNFα, TLR4, and HSP70 were determined. Results and conclusions: The banana bract flour showed a high content of phenolic compounds and an antioxidant effect. The in vivo results suggest that the supplementation of a hypercaloric diet with banana bract flour prevented pathological damage by reducing total cholesterol and glucose levels, which may imply a hepatoprotective effect of this supplement. Thus, using banana bract flour as a supplement can increase the consumption of fiber, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds. Novelty and scientific contribution: The development of flour from banana waste and its inclusion in the diet can prevent and/or help treat obesity. In addition, banana bracts can be used to protect the environment, as they are considered a source of waste by the food industry.

Guavira (Campomanesia adamantium, Myrtaceae) is a native fruit from the Brazilian Cerrado savanna and is socio-economically important for the indigenous and traditional people living in the Central-West. This is a bibliographic review of the biological properties of guavira and its derivatives, and, after discussing experimental studies, an interdisciplinary approach is conducted highlighting the im-portance of Agroforestry Systems as an ecological restoration tool to leverage the production chain of guavira while providing ecosystem services. Many research groups studied effects of polyphenols and other bioactive compounds and biological properties of this fruit and other plant parts such as antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-diarrheic and antitumoral activities, cardiovascular and hepatic protection and action against neuropathic pain. Besides, guavira by-products benefit poultry intestinal health, similarly to antibiotics added to their feed. Furthermore, several biotechnological products were found, like pulp flour, seasoning from the peel, sunscreen, and seed oil similar to olive oil with pharmaceutical and industrial potential. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of guavira for restoration and preservation of the threatened Brazilian Cerrado, and for the socio-environmental development of family agriculture. The same approach and study are welcome and necessary in other regions and domains worldwide having their native flora as means for a restorative end.
