Characterization of Bioactive Compounds in Eugenia brasiliensis, Lam. (Grumixama)

Partially replacing sorghum silage with cactus (Opuntia stricta) cladodes in a soybean oil‐supplemented diet markedly increases trans‐11 18:1, cis‐9, trans‐11 CLA and 18:2 n‐6 contents in cow milk

“…Samples of individual feed ingredients and refusals were dried at 60°C for 72 hr in a forced-air oven, ground in a Wiley mill to pass through a 1-mm screen sieve, and analysed for DM ( The NDF values were also corrected for non-protein nitrogenous compounds as described by Licitra et al (1996), and contents of non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) were calculated according to Hall (2000). Samples of CC and SS were further analysed for total dietary fibre (TDF) according to AOAC method 985.29 (AOAC, 2010), and for concentrations of glucose, fructose and sucrose by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with refractive index detector (Nascimento et al, 2017). Sugars were extracted using ultrapure water in an ultrasonic bath for 20 min and the extract was filtered.…”

Mineral and centesimal contents, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial action of phenolic compounds from Eugenia Brasiliensis Lam. Pulp

“…The high moisture content of grumixama pulp, which vary from 83.7 to 93.6g/100g, is a common characteristic of fruits from Myrtaceae family (Aguiar et al, 2016;Nascimento et al, 2017;Rodrigues et al, 2016a;Teixeira et al, 2015), which confers succulence to these fruits. Similar values for centesimal composition of grumixama pulp, in wet weight basis, was within the range of values reported in the literature, varying from 0.27 to 0.66 g/100 g for protein content, 0.23 to 0.61 g/100 g for ash content, 4.20 to 8.26 g/100 g for carbohydrate content, 3.08 to 4.65 g/100 g for total fiber content and 0.01 to 0.26 g/100 g for lipid content (Aguiar et al, 2016;Silva et al 2014;Teixeira et al, 2015).…”

“…The major PC identified in grumixama so far includes anthocyanins (delphinidin-3-glucoside, delphinidin-3-pentoside, cyanidin-3-glucoside, cyanidin-3-galactoside, cyanidin-3-arabinoside, cyanidin-3-xyloside, malvidin-3-glucoside, delphinidin and cyanidin) but also other types of flavonoids (rutin, myricetin, quercetin, (-)-epicatechin, catechin and myricetin), ellagitannins (pedunculagin isomers, strictinin isomers and ellagic acid galloyl hexoside) as well as phenolic acids (protocatechuic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, ellagic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid) (Flores et al, 2012;Onfante et al, 2016;Karwowski, 2012;Lazarini et al, 2018;Machado et al, 2017;Nascimento et al, 2017;Teixeira et al, 2015).…”

“…On general, fruits from Eugenia genera have representative amounts of ascorbic acid and carotenoids (Bailão et al, 2015). Therefore, ascorbic acid (10.55 mg ascorbic acid/100 g grumixama fresh pulp) and carotenoids (26.5 μg total carotenoids/g fresh pulp), mainly β-cryptoxanthin (17 μg/g) (Nascimento et al, 2017), might contribute to increase the antibacterial action of grumixama pulp, as previously demonstrated for plant material that contain the abovementioned compounds (Ernawita et al, 2017;Ferreira et al, 2014).…”

Caracterização de grumixama (>i<Eugenia brasiliensis>/i< Lam.) utilizando espectroscopia e cromatografia com enfoque em compostos bioativos

“…Dentre essas frutas, a grumixama (Eugenia brasiliensis Lam), também conhecida como cereja brasileira, é uma espécie nativa da Mata Atlântica, podendo ser encontrada desde a o estado da Bahia até Santa Catarina. A grumixameira floresce em meados de setembro e produz frutos durante novembro e dezembro; existindo três variedades, classificadas por sua cor: vermelha, roxa (ou preta) e amarela (NASCIMENTO et al, 2017).…”
