“…The soluble solids concentration found in the murici pulp of fruit from Minas Gerais, Brazil (10.73°Brix) (table II) was similar to that reported by Guimarães and Silva [21] (10.67°Brix) in fruits collected in the state of Goiás, and higher than that found by Canuto et al [22] in fruits from the Amazon (1.5°Brix). The higher soluble solids content found in our study compared with that reported in previous studies may be explained by the difference in the states (which have different climates) in which the …”

-Introduction. The Cerrado is the largest biome in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil; it presents an enormous biodiversity represented by fruit species, highlighting murici (Byrsonima verbascifolia). The objective of our study was to investigate the physical and physicochemical characteristics, occurrence and concentration of carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin E and folates in murici fruits from the Cerrado of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Materials and methods. Titratable acidity was determined by volumetric neutralization, pH by potentiometry, soluble solids by refractometry, moisture using an oven, ash using a muffle furnace, protein by the micro-Kjeldahl method, total dietary fiber by the nonenzymatic gravimetric method and lipids by Soxhlet extraction; carotenoids and vitamin C were analyzed by HPLC-DAD, and vitamin E and folates by HPLC with fluorescence detection. Results and discussion. The murici pulp contained 7.47 g·100 g -1 carbohydrates, 5.13 g·100 g -1 lipids, 13.58 g·100 g -1 fibers and 71.58 g·100 g -1 moisture. The pH, titratable acidity and soluble solids were 3.93, 0.77 g citric acid·100 g -1 and 10.73°Brix, respectively. The results indicated that the fruit is an excellent source of fiber and vitamin C (27.24 mg·100 g -1 ), a good source of vitamin E (1819.72 µg·100 g -1 ) for children and a source for adults and pregnant women. Folates were not found in murici. Conclusion. Murici stands out with regard to its nutritional value and can contribute significantly to the supply of nutrients, especially fiber and vitamin C. Thus, consumption of these fruits should be encouraged among families residing in the Cerrado and in other regions of Brazil. Brazil /

“…Possui hábito subarbustivo (Barbosa et al, 2005) e folhas grandes e rígidas (Andrade et al, 1995), com pêlos em ambas faces (Andrade et al, 1995;Andrade et al, 1999). O fruto dessa espécie possui coloração amarela (Guimarães & Silva, 2008;Alberto et al, 2011), diâmetro entre 1,50 à 2 cm com cheiro forte semelhante a queijo rançoso (Guimarães & Silva, 2008), sabor azedo e ligeiramente oleoso (Araújo et al, 2009). A madeira possui coloração amarelada ou avermelhada e brilhante (Alberto et al, 2011).…”

“…A. Juss é uma espécie típica do cerrado brasileiro com elevada densidade no Centro-Oeste e Norte do Brasil (Barbosa & Fearnside, 2004;Barbosa et al, 2005) e com baixa biomassa (Barbosa & Fearnside, 2004). A produção de frutos nesta espécie ocorre de dezembro a março, nas regiões serranas do Sudeste nos cerrados do Mato Grosso e Goiás e litoral do Norte e Nordeste do Brasil (Guimarães & Silva, 2008).…”

RESUMO:Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich ex. A. Juss é uma espécie do cerrado brasileiro com uso etnobotânico vasto. O objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar um levantamento bibliográfico de artigos originais e revisões, indexados até agosto de 2014 nas bases de dados Periódicos CAPES, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science e Medline, nos idiomas português e inglês, utilizando a palavra-chave Byrsonima verbascifolia. Foram contemplados a composição química e os aspectos botânicos, etnobotânicos e farmacológicos. Os estudos presentes na literatura avaliaram as atividades antioxidante, antifúngica, antiviral, antimicrobiana, moluscicida, antimutagênica, mutagênica, teratogênica, imunomodulatória, tóxica e citotóxica de extratos dessa espécie. Apenas um estudo avaliou a atividade da Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich ex. A. Juss in vivo, sendo comprovado que o extrato hidrometanólico das folhas não induz teratogênese, mutagênese ou efeito estimulante ou depressor da resposta imune. Metodologias in vitro predominaram o que demonstra a necessidade de investigação científica empregando testes in vivo para a melhor avaliação das outras atividades biológicas mencionadas. Palavras-chave:Byrsonima verbascifolia, murici, anti-inflamatório, compostos químicos, atividades farmacológicas.ABSTRACT: Chemical compounds and botanical, ethnobotanical and pharmacological aspects of Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich ex. A. Juss. Byrsonima verbascifolia is a species of Brazilian cerrado with extensive ethnobotanical application. The aim of this study was to perform a bibliographic description of original papers and reviews indexed until August 2014 in the databases of the CAPES Digital Library, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science and Medline, written in Portuguese and English, using the keyword Byrsonima verbascifolia. The chemical and botanical compositions and the ethnobotanical and pharmacological aspects were contemplated. The researches in the reports evaluated the antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, antimicrobial, molluscicide, antimutagenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, immunomodulatory, toxic and cytotoxic activities of the extracts of this specie. Only one study evaluated the in vivo activity of the Byrsonima verbascifolia Rich ex. A. Juss and proved that the hydromethanolic extract from the leaves does not induce teratogenesis, mutagenesis, stimulant or depressant effect of the immune response. The In vitro methodologies represented the higher number of researches demonstrating the need of scientific investigation using in vivo tests for better assessment of other biological activities mentioned.

The Brazilian savannah is the second largest biome of the country, and it displays great biodiversity. The fruits of the native trees have peculiar characteristics and are recognized for their nutritional and therapeutic aspects. However, little is known about their technological and biotechnological potential applications. The existing information concerning these aspects has never been compiled so far. It is known that many of these fruits contain many bioactive compounds of industrial interest, such as carotenoids and phenolic constituents. Another aspect of the fruit is the high fatty acid content of some species. Pequi, bocaiuva, jatoba, baru, amburama, and buriti, for instance, are among those fruits described as being rich in fatty acids, mostly unsaturated ones. Here, we reviewed 18 species from the Brazilian savannah identified to be of interest because of high potencial for sustained medium- and short-term explorations, under the technological and biotechnological aspects, seeking the development of new products from these scarcely studied raw materials.
