“…is a Brazilian tree species, popularly known as "oiti" or "oitizeiro". It naturally grows in the Northeast region of the country; however it is widely used as a shading tree for afforestation due to its relatively low trunk and globular crown being common in several urban areas in Brazil [ 2 , 9 ]. In traditional medicine, M. tomentosa is used for intestinal and stomach disorders [ 38 ].…”

Background Natural products are an important source of bioproducts with pharmacological properties. Here we investigate the components of leaves from M. tomentosa Benth. (Fritsch) (Chrysobalanaceae) and its effects on bacterial cell growth, biofilm production and macrophage activity. Methods The effect of the different leaf extracts against bacterial cell growth was performed using the microdilution method. The most active extract was analyzed by mass spectrometry, and its effect on bacterial biofilm production was evaluated on polystyrene plates. The extract effect on macrophage activity was tested in the RAW264.7 cell line, which was stimulated with different concentrations of the extract in the presence or absence of LPS. Results We show that the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extract was the most effective against bacterial cell growth. EtOAc extract DI-ESI (-)MSn analysis showed the presence of a glycosylated flavonoid tentatively assigned as myricetin 3-O-xylosyl-rhamnoside (MW 596). Also, the EtOAc extract increased biofilm formation by S. aureus and inhibited cytokine and NO production induced by LPS in RAW macrophages. Conclusion M. tomentosa flavonoid-enriched EtOAc extract presented a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory pharmacological potential.

“…Fritsch., which is a native plant of the Brazilian flora that belongs to the Chrysobalanaceae family. This plant can only be found in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil and is popularly known as "oiti", "oitimirim", "oiti-da-praia", "oiti-cagão", "goiti", among other terms (Andrade, Zoghbi and Maia, 1998). It is commonly used in the urban and ornamental arborization due to its adaptation to regions of high temperatures (Castilho and Kaplan, 2008).…”

Oiti (Licania tomentosa (Benth.) Fritsch.) is a native fruit of Brazil that is not vastly utilized in the human diet due to the scarcity of information about its nutritional characterization. In this paper, the proximate composition, physicochemical characterization and mineral content of oiti pulp were investigated. Multivariate analysis techniques (Kohonen Neural Network, PCA and HCA) were used to evaluate whether there were significant differences among the samples collected in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, regarding to nutritional composition. The samples were digested in microwave ovens using the HNO3 and H2O2 oxidative mixture for multi-element determination of Ca, Cu, K, Mg, Mn, P and Zn by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Residual carbon content was determined to evaluate the efficiency of the acid digestion procedure. The method accuracy was confirmed by the analysis of the certified reference material of spinach leaves (1570a) and apple leaves (1515) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The results obtained for proximate composition and physical-chemical characterization analysis were in ranges of: 33.2 to 42.2% for moisture; 0.73 to 1.63% for ashes; 1.66 to 4.59% for total lipids; 1.89 to 3.07% for total proteins; 50.6 to 60.6% for carbohydrates; 0.04 to 0.06% for titratable acidity; 6.14 to 6.76 for pH; 0.88 to 5.69 mg 100g-1 for vitamin C; 10 to 14% for soluble solids content (ºBrix); 179 to 323 for ratio; 3.93 to 12.4% for reducing sugars; 0.89 to 4.52% for non-reducing sugars; 5.99 to 15.1% for total sugars and 248 to 279 Kcal in 100g for total calories value. The concentration values obtained for the elements in oiti samples in mg 100g-1 were in ranges of: 121 to 259 for Ca; 10.0 to 12.6 for Cu; 394 to 775 for K; 32.9 to 62.7 for Mg; 10.5 to 12.3 for Mn; 48.6 to 70.4 for P and 0.335 to 1.66 for Zn. The results indicate that oiti fruits have a nutritional value and can be used as a potential alternative source of nutrients for human diet and for the development of new food products.
