“…In this study, employing a phytochemical analysis, it was possible to determine glycosides, steroids, phenolic alkaloids, tannins, saponins, quinones, flavonoids, anthraquinones; however, some highlighted substances, such as coumarins, were not found in methanolic extracts. These results are similar to those reported by Mohana (29) and Anandhi et al (30), who also reported tannins, quinones, carbohydrates, saponins, flavonoids, glycosides, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, phenols, coumarins, proteins, steroids, and anthraquinones. However, they could not determine the presence of alkaloids and triterpenes; these differences were possibly due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as soil type, origin, environmental temperature, cultivation method, harvest, or extraction.…”

“…ferrea Martius on S. mutans, S. salivarius, S. oralis, and Lactobacillus, finding high effectiveness in MIC(25, 40, 66, and 100 µg/mL)(30). Also, in ethanolbased extracts of C. mimosoides, they presented a MIC <1 mg/mL against bacterial and fungal strains(34,35).Soares et al(36) reported the antimicrobial activity of C. ferrea extracts against the most common oral pathogenic bacteria and fungi such as C. albicans, S. mutans, S. salivarius, S. oralis, and L. casei, showing to be more effective against C. albicans, by generating inhibition hales of 15 mm in diameter, these results are similar to those obtained in this work.Research by Glauber et al(38), using other plant species, demonstrated antimicrobial activity of C. ferrea extracts against C. albicans, S. mutans, S. salivarius, S. oralis, and L. casei.…”

Background: “Dividivi” Caesalpinia coriaria (Jacq.) Willd fruits are traditionally used by the Wayuú community in La Guajira (Colombia) to treat oral and skin cavity diseases caused by bacteria and fungi. Streptococcus pyogenes is a gram-positive cocci of group A (beta-hemolytic) that is the cause of pharyngeal disease, scarlet fever, cellulitis, erysipelas, or toxic shock-like syndrome. Alternatively, Candida albicans is a yeast-like fungus that is a normal flora of the digestive tract, vagina, or skin folds; it has been known to be the root cause of opportunistic diseases such as diaper rash, oral and esophagus thrush, or vulvovaginitis. Objective: This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of C. coriaria (Jacq.) Willd dry fruits on S. pyogenes ATCC 12384 and C. albicans ATTC 14053. Method: C. coriaria extracts were obtained from the Soxhlet method using two solvents (methanol and ethanol 98%) prepared from pulverized fruits. A phytochemical test and an antimicrobial activity assay were performed using the obtained extracts and tested using S. pyogenes ATCC 12384 and C. albicans ATTC 14053 strains. Results: A phytochemical profile was performed, examining the presence of bioactive metabolites (tannins, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, and anthraquinones) from each extract. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that the ethanolic extract inhibited S. pyogenes ATCC 12384, causing inhibition halos of 14.1 ± 0.1 mm and a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 172 mg/ml, and C. albicans test shows inhibition halos of 16.1 ± 0.2 mm and MIC of 212 mg/ml. Additionally, the methanolic extract inhibited S. pyogenes with inhibition halos of 15.2 ± 0.2 mm and MIC of 152 mg/ml; no inhibitory effect was observed on C. albicans. Conclusion: This study revealed that C. coriaria has an antimicrobial effect on the tested species opening the field of its possible use as a therapeutic agent.

“…Even though Caesalpinia coriaria leaves have been considered rich in tannin content [ 13 – 31 ], the total CT in the fruit is lower compared to that found in plants consumed by goats in dry tropics where values range from 78 g/kg to 174 g/kg DM [ 32 ]. The CT in the fruit (Caesalpinia coriaria) is lower than the mean of tropical plants with a high tannin content of 30 g/kg DM [ 33 ] but can be considered similar to Lotus corniculatus , a legume adapted to acid soils with 23 g/kg condensed tannins [ 34 ].…”

To evaluate phenolic compounds and whether the combination of a tanniferous fruit and soybean oil could improve the performance, meat characteristics, and fatty acid (FA) profile in lambs, an experiment was conducted over 40 days with twenty creole male lambs (23.71 ± 3.46 kg). The lambs were allotted in a completely randomised design, with factorial arrangement 2 × 2, with the following dietary treatments: (1) control diet, (2) 2% Caesalpinia coriaria ground fruit dry matter (DM), (3) 2% soybean oil DM, and (4) 2% Caesalpinia coriaria fruit plus 2% soybean oil. The concentration of condensed tannins (CT) in Caesalpinia coriacea was 21.71 g/kg DM. No interactions were detected (P > 0.05) among soybean oil and Caesalpinia coriaria, and there were no differences in daily gain, intake, and feed conversion. Soybean oil reduced (P < 0.05) DM digestibility (68.05 versus 59.56%). In fat from the longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle, only linoleic acid presented differences (P < 0.05) between treatments. The combination of Caesalpinia coriacea fruit and soybean oil did not improve lamb performance at the included levels.
