“…Brazil produces around 45 million tons of fruit annually, making it the third-largest producer in the world. In this production, tropical fruits stand out due to their good adaptation to the Brazilian climate (Embrapa, 2020;Ramadan et al, 2019).…”

Acerola has acquired great importance due to its high vitamin C content and its potential for industrialization. However, during its processing, a quantity of waste (seed and bagasse) is generated, mainly from pulp processing. These residues can be used as new sources of food with high added value and contribute positively to the reduction of environmental impacts. Therefore, this research aimed to add value to the acerola by-product through the development of a functional yogurt. To develop this research, a complete 2² Factorial Planning and Response Surface Methodology were used. The planning included five different levels, with three central points totaling seven tests. The independent variables were: concentration of acerola by-product (%) and brown sugar (%). The responses analyzed were: water content (g/100g), acidity (g/100g), pH, ascorbic acid (mg/100g), reducing sugars (g/100g), and ash (g/100g). The Statística 7.0 software was used to analyze the results of the adopted planning. It was observed that the acerola by-product concentration factor had the greatest influence on the vast majority of responses studied.

“…Acerola extract is one of these products that has increased in production, and the global market for this extract is estimated to be US 1.5 million in the year 2023, and it is projected to reach US 40 million by 2033 [2]. China, India, and Brazil are the largest acerola producers, and the estimated production is higher than 40 million tons/year [3]. In recent decades, Brazil has established itself as the global leader in acerola production, with an estimated annual yield of 61,000 metric tons [4,5].…”

This study reviews the many uses for waste generated from acerola (Malpighia spp.) production, a tropical fruit renowned for its nutrient-rich content. Traditionally considered an environmental burden, this waste is now gaining attention for its sustainable applications in green technology. This review outlines the extraction of valuable bioactive compounds, like polyphenols, carotenoids, and pectin, that can be extracted from the acerola fruit and acerola waste, and it also delves into its potential in materials science, particularly in the creation of pharmaceutical formulations, nanomaterials, composites, biofuels, and energy applications. On the medical front, the paper highlights the promise that acerola waste holds in anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, and anticancer therapies. By outlining challenges and opportunities, the review emphasizes the untapped potential of acerola waste as a resource for high-value products. These findings suggest a paradigm shift, turning what has been considered waste into a sustainable asset, thereby encouraging environmentally responsible practices within the fruit industry.

“…Um dos principais bioativos da acerola é a vitamina C, que se encontra em altos teores na fruta (0,97 g/100 g de suco em frutas maduras (Ramadan et al, 2018;Stafussa et al, 2018). Muitos estudos mostraram que a atividade antioxidante do extrato de acerola foi muito maior em comparação com extratos ricos em polifenóis de outras frutas, como açaí, cereja, uva, manga e morango (Chang, Alasalvar, & Shahidi, 2018).…”

The present work aimed to evaluate the initial development and rooting of stem cuttings of acerola tree using a stimulating solution obtained from germinated bean seeds. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (DIC), with three treatments (Control; 300 g and 500 g of beans) and three replications with 10 cuttings each. The 15 cm long cuttings were planted in 910 mL black polyethylene bags. The variables were obtained 45 days after planting, namely: length of the largest shoot, number of shoots, fresh mass of the shoots, dry mass of the shoots and rooting percentage. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and Snedecor's F test (p<0.05). All variables were not significant by the Snedecor F test (p<0.05), however, only the control did not emit roots. Thus, the natural rooting agent prepared from germinated bean seeds, despite the non-significance, showed positive potential to be used in the production of acerola seedlings through the cutting technique
