“…Furthermore, the action of these components depends on their concentrations in food. Silva et al (2021) determined the antioxidant activity and the contents of phenolic compounds and vitamin C in nasturtium leaves and flowers, as summarized in Table 2.…”

Unconventional food plants (UFPs) are little-explored plant species that can be used in human nutrition. In addition to the low cost of production, these plants can add nutritional value to food products, so their use as a raw material may be feasible within the food industry. Among the UFPs is the nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.), an easy cultivation species with all edible parts except the roots. Its flowers can be used in various culinary preparations besides having antioxidant potential; therefore, their consumption may benefit human health. Furthermore, the leaves, stalks and seeds can also be used in different ways in food; however, few studies have been reported on these parts of the plant. This review brings an approach to the nutritional and functional properties of edible parts of nasturtium, aiming at adding value with potential applications for the development of new nutritious and functional food products, thus valuing biodiversity.

“…In Amaranthus, the NIR technique associated with multivariate analysis was used to determine the chemical composition of leaves and extracts, on postharvest betacyanin degradation, on seed germination in the identification and classification of species (Matzrafi et al, 2017, Silva et al, 2018Silva et al, 2019;Xavier et al, 2019b;Silva et al, 2021, Sohn et al, 2021. Studies using NIR to characterize Amaranth oil are scarce.…”

Species of the Amaranthus genus are very versatile and have potential for the application in the development of commercial products. The near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is an efficient tool that can help in the quality control of products, quickly and non-destructive to the sample. The goal of this study was to carry out the distinction of seed and oils of different Amaranthus species using the near infrared spectroscopy. Three species were used: A. viridis L., A. hybridus L. e Amaranthus sp. (commercial). The spectra acquired from the sample using the near infrared spectroscopy were submitted to the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and to the principal component analysis (PCA). Through PCA, it was possible to differentiate the Amaranthus species both for seeds and oils. Through PLS-DA, it was possible to predict the classes of the species with high degree of correct classification, with 96.67% of correct classifications for seeds and 98.89% for oil. Thus, with the use of the near infrared spectroscopy associated with the multivariate statistical analysis, it is possible to classify the different Amaranthus species, especially when using the oil.

“…Muitas espécies cultivadas se adaptaram bem ao nosso clima e solo, e então começaram a ser cultivadas em maiores escalas agrícolas. Também, uma parte relevante de nossos hábitos alimentares foi herdada dos povos indígenas que habitavam o Brasil antes da colonização, os quais cultivavam espécies alimentares de hortaliças e frutas (Silva et al, 2019;2021).…”

As plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC) representam grande importância e potencial produtivo crescente, sendo importante a identificação das espécies em cada região. Neste sentido, objetivou-se identificar e quantificar variáveis que caracterizassem os sistemas de produção de diferentes espécies de PANC na região Sul de Minas Gerais. Foi utilizada uma amostra de grupo representativo com 96 produtores selecionados entre 12 associações, referente ao período de 2018 a 2019. Foram catalogadas 35 espécies de PANC produzidas em área total de 138 hectares, sendo Inhame-Taro (Colocasia esculenta), Alho Poró (Allium porrum), Ora-Pro-Nóbis (Pereskia aculeata), Cará-do-ar (Dioscorea bulbifera), Guandu em grão (Cajanus cajan), açafrão (Curcuma longa), Gengibre (Zingiber officinale), Espinafre (Spinacea oleracea), Batata Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), e Serralha (Sonchus oleraceus), as espécies mais representativas em área produzida com essas espécies (64%). A associação Camponesa, de Campo do Meio-MG, representou a maior produtora de plantas alimentícias não convencionais (30% do total de PANC comercializadas). Houve uma tendência de aumento no número de produtores com idade superior a 40 anos envolvidos com essas espécies. A principal forma de comercialização adotada é a venda direta no varejo 33%, em feiras livres. Na modalidade de uso da terra, foi observado predomínio (66%) do cultivo em propriedades próprias, familiares e orgânicas.
