“…These fruits contain one to four seeds and have a dark reddish peel, with promising effects on human and animal health [ 1 , 2 ]. P. cauliflora peel extracts have been shown antioxidant [ 3 ], antimicrobial [ 4 ], and wound-healing properties [ 5 ]. Moreover, cardioprotective [ 6 ] and hepatoprotective effects [ 7 ] were described.…”

Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel, popularly known as jabuticaba, possesses bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids, known for their antioxidant, antibacterial, wound healing, and cardioprotective effects. Therefore, this study aimed to standardize the P. cauliflora fruit peel extraction method, maximize phenolic constituents, and evaluate their antioxidative and antimicrobial effects. Various extraction methods, including vortex extraction with and without precipitation at 25, 40, and 80 °C, and infusion extraction with and without precipitation, were performed using a completely randomized design. Extraction without precipitation (E − P) showed the highest yield (57.9%). However, the precipitated extraction (E + P) method displayed a yield of 45.9%, higher levels of phenolic derivatives, and enhanced antioxidant capacity. Major compounds, such as D-psicose, D-glucose, and citric acid, were identified through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analysis identified citric acid, hexose, flavonoids, tannins, and quercetin as the major compounds in the extracts. Furthermore, the extracts exhibited inhibitory effects against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli bacteria. In conclusion, the E + P method efficiently obtained extracts with high content of bioactive compounds showing antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities with potential application as a dietary supplement.

“…Recently, it was reported that crude extracts of seeds from different Myrciaria species showed some interesting biological properties such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, and antioxidant effects (Cefali et al, 2021;Fidelis et al, 2020Fidelis et al, , 2021Paludo et al, 2019;Willemann et al, 2020). It is well known that antioxidants can act through different mechanisms, such as scavenging hydrogen and electrons, chelating metal ions transition, and inhibiting lipid peroxidation.…”

This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant activity of extracts obtained from jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) seeds. Ethanolic (ETJS), methanolic (MEJS), aqueous (AQJS), and propanone (PRJS) extracts was assessed by measuring spectrophotometrically their ability to scavenge DPPH • , ABTS •+ , HOCl, and O 2 •− radicals. Electrochemical methods were employed, and the obtained data presented a good correlation with the radical scavenging results. The extracts were also able to attenuate lipid peroxidation induced by Fe 2+ ions in phospholipids due to their chelation ability. The extracts protected human erythrocytes against oxidative cellular damage caused by AAPH, which was confirmed by using FESEM analysis. PRJS extract demonstrated the highest effect in all assays used in this work. Our findings prove that jabuticaba seeds are an important source of antioxidants which act by different mechanisms. This study opens new frontiers regarding the use of this fruit byproduct as a food additive. Practical applicationsJabuticaba seeds are usually discarded as waste by food industries, but they are rich in bioactive products and present interesting biological properties. Herein, we demonstrated that their extracts show remarkable antioxidant power against different reactive oxygen species, which are involved in several human pathologies. In this way, this by-product can be further used in the development of products to protect the human body against diseases related to oxidative stress.
