“…The phytochemical studies on the extracts of Averrhoa carambola plant leaves, fruits, and roots showed a predominant content of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and pyrogallic steroids (Khoo et al., 2010, 2016; Muthu et al., 2016). Other phytochemicals such as phenols, anthocyanin and anthocyanidin, chalcones and aurones, leucoanthocyanidins, catechins, and triterpenoids were also extracted from various parts of star fruit (Silva et al., 2020).…”

Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola), a popular fruit in many parts of the world, is considered to have many beneficial nutritional and medicinal effects. However, harmful nephrotoxic and neurotoxic effects have also been described. In this review, we have discussed the reported beneficial effects of star fruit, explored the potential mechanisms for such beneficial effects, and outline factors that may affect the safe level of consumption. The beneficial effects include the following: antioxidant (mediated via L‐ascorbic acid, epicatechin, and gallic acid), hypoglycemic (mediated via high fiber levels and 2‐dodecyl‐6‐methoxycyclohexa‐2,5‐diene‐1,4‐dione), hypotensive (mediated via apigenin), hypocholesterolemic (mediated via micronized fiber), anti‐inflammatory, anti‐infective, antitumor effects, and immune‐boosting effects. The presence of chronic kidney disease, gastroenteropathies, chronic pancreatitis, dehydration, consumption on an empty stomach, and higher concentration of oxalate in fruit/juice consumed predisposes to toxicity. The level of ingestion at which the beneficial effects transition to nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity is still to be accurately ascertained. Furthermore, the relationship between the amount of star fruit ingested and the severity of toxicity is not certain and warrants further study.

“…The great interest around these classes of secondary metabolites is the correlation that these compounds have with various biological activities (Fonseca et al, 2019;Santos et al, 2018), such as antioxidant and antimicrobial activities among other (Silva et al, 2021;Kuhn et al, 2019;Mallmann et al, 2018). A diet abundant in some of these compounds is able to act in the prevention of various diseases.…”

Croton argyrophylloides Muell. Arg., from the Euphorbiaceae family, popularly known as marmeleiro prateado or sacatinga, is a plant from the Caatinga biome commonly found in Brazil’s northeastern region. The present study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the species. The phytochemical study was performed through qualitative analysis of chemical constituents and quantitative determination of the total phenol content through the Folin-Ciocalteu test. The qualitative and quantitative antioxidant tests were performed using the DPPH method (2.2 diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazil) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by microdilution in 96-well plates. The ethanolic extract of the leaves of C. argyrophylloides manifested antioxidant action in the quantitative DPPH test with a significant bioactivity of 84.70 AAO% in 500 µg/mL, with an EC50 of 236.79. The content of total phenolic compounds was 946.06 mg of gallic acid equivalents/g of sample, and total flavonoids was 58.11 mg of quercetin equivalents/g of sample, the result obtained for FRAP was 15294.44 µM Trolox/g of sample and ABTS was 718 μM Trolox of sample. The prospecting of the chemical constituents of the leaves of C. argyrophylloides revealed the presence of the main compounds that manifests the antioxidant activity and it was proven by the DPPH method that there is antioxidant activity in the analyzed sample, in addition to demonstrating a significant content of phenolic compounds and total flavonoid content in the species, which corroborates the antioxidant activity of the plant sample. The leaf extracts presented growth inhibition halos of 10 and 12 mm upon Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.
