“…6 In addition, the eggplant peel is rich in anthocyanins and has therapeutic potential for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and prevention of atherogenic cardiovascular diseases by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. 7 Gonçalves et al 8 conducted a literature review comprising 25 articles on the species S. melongena and concluded that this species has a mitigation effect on dyslipidemia, particularly hypercholesterolemia, when used in the form of juice made from the fruit with peel.…”

“…In recent years, consumption of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) has increased considerably due to its medicinal properties (GONÇALVES et al, 2006;RAIGÓN et al, 2008), mainly because of its cholesterol-reducing properties (JORGE et al, 1998) and hypoglycemic effect (DERIVI et al, 2002). Eggplants are rich in vitamins B1 and B2 and minerals including calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium (RIBEIRO et al, 1998).…”

This study evaluated the growth, yield, and postharvest quality of eggplant grown under different foliar fertilizer treatments with Spirufert® (Spirulina platensis). The treatments consisted of four fertilizer concentrations applied at four phenological stages: M1 (10, 15, 25, and 35 g L -1 ), M2 (15, 20, 30, and 40 g L -1 ), M3 (20, 25, 35, and 45 g L -1 ), and M4 (control plants, water spraying only). For Postharvest experiments were conducted in a 4 x 5 factorial design corresponding to the four treatments in the field experiment and five storage times. Spirufert® applied at lower concentrations (M1) resulted in greater fruit yield without affecting the foliar concentrations of N, P, K, and Na. Higher fertilizer concentrations (M3) increased vegetative growth but reduced eggplant yield. Fruit color parameters and soluble solids contents were not affected by fertilizer application, but pulp firmness was more stable in M1 fruits stored for up to six days. Key words: Solanum melongena. Microalgae. Biofertilizer. Postharvest conservation. ResumoObjetivou-se avaliar o crescimento, a produção e a qualidade pós-colheita da berinjela em função de manejos (M) de aplicação foliar com Spirufert® (Spirulina platensis). Os manejos foram constituídos por quatro concentrações do produto, aplicadas em quatro fases fenológicas da cultura, sendo o M1 constituído por pulverizações nas concentrações de 10, 15, 25 e 35 g L -1 ; o M2 correspondeu às concentrações de 15, 20, 30 e 40 g L -1 ; o M3 por 20, 25, 35 e 45 e g L -1 e o M4 correspondeu à testemunha. Para o ensaio de pós-colheita, os tratamentos corresponderam a um esquema fatorial 4 x 5, correspondente aos quatro tratamentos originados do experimento de campo e cinco períodos de armazenamento. O Spirufert® aplicado em concentrações mais baixas (M1) proporciona maior produção de frutos, sem influenciar os teores foliares de N, P, K e Na da cultura. Concentrações mais elevadas do produto (M3) favorecem o desenvolvimento vegetativo da berinjela em detrimento da produção. O produto não afeta a cor do fruto nem seus sólidos solúveis, porém o manejo M1 proporciona maior estabilidade na firmeza dos frutos durante o seu armazenamento de até seis dias. Palavras-chave: Solanum melongena. Microalga. Biofertilizante. Conservação pós-colheita.

“…Por conter em sua composição substâncias com supostas ações terapêuticas, a berinjela (Solanum melongena L.) tem sido citada por diversos autores como um dos vegetais que podem ser classificados como alimento funcional. Estudos relatam o seu uso no controle de altos níveis plasmáticos de colesterol e nas dietas para emagrecimento, tornando-se assim importante na dislipidemia e obesidade [8][9][10] .…”

Currently, the role of healthy food is to optimize the nutrition of individuals, providing not only increased health and well-being, but also reduced risks of developing diseases caused by poor diets. Functional foods contain substances with different biological functions, called bioactive compounds, which can modulate the physiology of the body, ensuring the maintenance of health. Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) has been cited by several authors as one of the vegetables that can be classified as functional food. The lay population has used eggplant in different ways, without criteria and evidence from studies with different objectives. Among its main uses, the treatment and/or prevention of dyslipidemia and as adjuvant in weight loss can be highlighted. This work aims to study and analyze the most recent publications in order to justify the characterization of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) as a functional food. To this end, a literature review of articles was conducted in the Scielo, Medline, Pubmed, Bireme, and Lilacs databases, as well as in books and journals from 1992 to 2012. The selection of bibliographic reference sought to select studies that investigated the chemical composition of eggplant, elucidated its habitual use by populations, and attempted to demonstrate its functional properties. Although some studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of eggplant, more accurate investigations with standardized methodologies are needed. These further studies should address the usual forms of consumption by the population and the correlation of these forms with the objectives of the proposed use.
