“…This difference in the metal concentration values may be related to the place where the plant was planted, and the type of soil in the region (generally the state of Paraná has soils that are rich in aluminum). Studies carried out with CV fruits (PASTA, et al, 2019) showed an Al concentration of 2600,00 ± 0,03 µg g -1 . However, studies that used the leaves of the plant were not found so far.…”

The bioaccessibility of Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Mg, Zn, phenolics and flavonoids during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion of Canela de Velho (Miconia albicans) tea was investigated in 10 samples. Determinations were made by atomic and molecular absorption spectrometry. Metal concentrations in Canela de Velho tea ranged from 343 ± 18 to 1163 ± 36 µg g-1 for Al, 102 ± 23 to 347 ± 13 µg g-1 for Ca, 0.093 ± 0.009 to 0.109 ± 0.003 µg g-1 for Cr, 0.30 ± 0.05 to 0.9 ± 0.2 µg g-1 for Cu, 264 ± 27 to 633 ± 53 µg g-1 for Mg and 1.3 ± 0.3 to 3.1 ± 0.4 µg g-1 for Zn, while the bioaccessibility percentages

Seasonal Chemical Evaluation of Miconia chamissois Naudin from Brazilian Savanna

et al. 2022

Miconia chamissois Naudin is a species from the Cerrado, which is being increasingly researched for its therapeutic potential. The aim of this study was to obtain a standardized extract and to evaluate seasonal chemical variations. Seven batches of aqueous extracts from leaves were produced for the standardization. These extracts were evaluated for total solids, polyphenol (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC), vitexin derivative content, antioxidant activity; thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profiles were generated. For the seasonal study, leaves were collected from five different periods (May 2017 to August 2018). The results were correlated with meteorological data (global radiation, temperature, and rainfall index). Using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, apigenin C-glycosides (vitexin/isovitexin) and derivatives, luteolin C-glycosides (orientin/isoorientin) and derivatives, a quercetin glycoside, miconioside B, matteucinol-7-O-β-apiofuranosyl (1 → 6) -β-glucopyranoside, and farrerol were identified. Quality parameters, including chemical marker quantification by HPLC, and biological activity, are described. In the extract standardization process, all the evaluated parameters showed low variability. The seasonality study revealed no significant correlations (p < 0.05) between TPC or TFC content and meteorological data. These results showed that it is possible to obtain extracts from M. chamissois at any time of the year without significant differences in composition.

“…The aluminum content of the uxi pulp obtained in our study is the highest among Amazonian fruit pulps such as araçá, Psidium cattleianum Sabine (Myrtaceae) (0.14 mg 100 g -1 ) and açaí, E. oleracea (0.36 mg 100 g -1 ) (Menezes et al 2008;Montero et al 2020). The pulp of Miconia albicans (Sw.) (Melastomataceae), one of the most common species of the Cerrado (savanna) biome, has an aluminum content 10 times higher than that of yellow uxi (260.0 ± 0.3 mg 100 g -1 ), which is likely related to the high aluminum content in the predominant latosol soil type in Cerrado (Pasta et al 2019). Likewise, the predominant soil in the sampled municipalities, as mentioned previously, is the yellow latosol, which has characteristically low levels of exchangeable bases and phosphorus, low natural fertility, and a high saturation of aluminum (Maia and Marmos 2010).…”

The yellow uxi (Endopleura uchi) is a tree native to the Amazon and its fruits are appreciated in the region. It is rich in total phenols and its bark is known to have high bergenin content, an isocoumarin derivative that presents several pharmacological activities. Yet the nutritional and functional properties of the fruit are still little known. We analyzed the nutritional, centesimal, and mineral properties, and the antioxidant activity and total phenol content of the alcoholic extract of yellow uxi fruit pulp from different locations in the Amazon. The bergenin content was also quantified. Average pulp yield was 45.66 ± 4.44% (w/w), with 60.1 - 89.2 g 100 g-1 of moisture and 1.28 - 1.32 g 100 g-1 of ash (dry basis). Calcium (78.2 - 87.1 mg 100 g-1) and potassium (260.2 - 395 mg 100 g-1) were the most abundant minerals in the pulp. Aluminum concentration was high compared to other Amazonian fruits (23.7 - 28.7 mg 100 g-1). The high caloric value of the pulp (325.3 ± 20.9 Kcal 100 g-1) is attributed to its lipid (32 - 44.9%) and carbohydrate (48.2 - 64.1%) content. The scavenging activity of DPPH was 1.95 - 20.68%, which was highly associated with the total phenolic content (16.91 - 30.07 µg GAE mg-1). Bergenin content was 180.8 ± 55.3 mg 100 g-1. We conclude that E. uchi pulp has high caloric and mineral content, and it is also a source of bergenin, thus this fruit has a potential nutritional and functional value.
