“…The extract of cupuassu seed by-product was obtained from percolation extraction, the whole process is described in the methodology of Costa et al (2019). And the microencapsulated extract of cupuassu seed by-product (ME) was obtained by spray drying (Mini Spray Dryer,Büchi,Flawil,Switzerland) using maltodextrin as a coating material under optimal microencapsulation conditions, which were previously established according to a 3 3 -Box-Beheken factorial design (Da Costa et al, 2018).…”

This work deals with the application of microencapsulated extract of cupuassu seed by-product to functionally enrich a food multimixture. The methodological bases applied were those of the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC. Multimixture enrichment with the extract led to 54 and 19% increases in total dietary fiber and total fat contents, to slight decreases in carbohydrate and protein contents, while the total energy value was reduced by 6.4% due to the increase in unsaturated fatty acids content. The enriched multimixture showed a significant antioxidant activity and high levels of Ca 2+ , Fe 2+ , Zn 2+ and ω-9 and ω-6 unsaturated fatty acids. Nutritional and functional qualities of this multimixture, as well as its excellent stability against progressive temperature increases frequently occurring in food preparations, suggest its use as a basic ingredient for food supplementation. The results also indicate excellent technological properties of the multimixture to formulate new food products.

“…Indeed, some studies report nutrient concentrations in fruit by-products even higher than in pulp [6,7]. The so-called tropical fruit processing by-products have been increasingly used as food additives and sources of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols [8][9][10]. In addition, the appropriate reuse of these by-products can reduce the environmental impact associated with their disposal, adding value to the entire production chain.…”

“…In the literature, there are several studies related to agro-industrial byproducts from fruits of the amazon region with the objective of finding a sustainable destination, among which are worth mentioning those related to the cocoa (Theobroma cacao) [13], cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) [10], pracaxi (Pentaclethra macroloba) [14], and tucumã (Astrocaryum vulgare Mart) [15] by-products.…”

Fruit processing contributes significantly to the agricultural exportation of the Amazonian; however, it generates large amounts of solid waste, despite its high content of bioactive compounds and nutritional properties, and they are discarded in the environment. Therefore, in order to add economic value and potential reuse of agro-industrial by-products from cocoa, cupuassu, pracaxi, and tucumã, we investigated the chemical characteristics of the seed by-product resulting from the industrial extraction of these oils. The investigation of the nutritional and chemical composition of by-product was submitted to green extraction, besides other qualitative and quantitative techniques for the characterization of the main bioactive compounds. The extracts obtained from these by-products had a significant total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. HPLC analysis identified and quantified some flavonoids present in these by-products (gallic, caffeic and protocatechuic acid, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, epicatechin, catechin, and quercetin). The oil from these species is widely used in the treatment of skin scarring and inflammation and is also used by the cosmetic industry. These results show that these by-products have a great potential for use, since they still have bioactive substances in their composition, which could alternatively be used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or food industries.

“…Aging and the constant search for a better and healthier life reinforce the appreciation of natural products use as one of the most effective alternatives for scientific research [1]. Brazil is one of the most endowed countries in biodiversity globally, and the Amazon region stands out for the number of exotic fruits considered rich in bioactive substances associated with health benefits [2].…”

The Amazon forest has the largest biome on the planet, and it is estimated that only 16 to 20% of the identified animal, and plant biodiversity. Considering plant diversity, we will highlight the biological properties of the fruits extracts of Arecaceae, Caryocaraceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae, Sapindaceae, and Solanaceae’s families due to their significant biological actions. This review presents the antioxidant, glycemic control, and neuroprotective activities from ten fruit extracts distributed in six botanical families in the Amazon region. We obtained 801 publications (described from 2010 to 2020), of which 64 articles were selected by the benchmark previously chosen. The antioxidant effect was the dominant effect observed in the studies used for this review, followed by glycemic control and protective actions in neurons. This review provides a synopsis of the recent literature exploring the extracts from native fruits to the Amazon region that could efficiently prevent pathologies associated with oxidative stress, and cellular maintenance mechanisms.
