“…The presence of phenolic compounds was suggested by the simultaneous observation of bands in the range of 1400–1000 cm −1 resulting from the interaction of the angular deformation of O–H and C–O allocations. The different vibrational bands found between 1500 and 1000 cm −1 can also be associated with the presence of chemical groups of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin (Nunes et al., 2019; Silva et al., 2020).…”

“…Therefore, from the analysis of FTIR spectra, it can be inferred that YMF and BPF probably have an abundance of phenolic compounds and insoluble fibers in their matrix, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin (Gunarathne et al., 2022; Kuhnen et al., 2010; Nunes et al., 2019; Silva et al., 2020). A previous study that evaluated the physicochemical characteristics of yellow mombin pulp residues showed a composition of 24.78% cellulose, 18.47% hemicellulose, and 29.89% lignin (Rocha et al., 2020).…”

Bands found between 900 and 500 cm −1 suggest the presence of insoluble fibers, especially hemicellulose (xyloglucan) with vibration of aromatic compounds (C-C and C-O), and between 900 and 1000 cm −1 remnants of other carbohydrates (fructose and sucrose) (Kuhnen et al, 2010).…”

Yellow mombin (Spondias mombin) and Brazil plum (Spondias tuberosa) seeds are byproducts of exploiting their pulp and currently have no relevant food or industrial applications. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical, technological, and functional characteristics of flours obtained from yellow mombin (YMF) and Brazil plum (BPF) residues. The flours presented a high percentage of insoluble fiber (68.8–70.2 g/100 g) and low carbohydrate (2.7–4.0 g/100 g) and caloric (91.9–95.3 kcal) values. The flours showed potential for technological application. In addition, the highest concentration of total phenolic content (31.1–50.2 mg GAE/g) was obtained with 70% acetone, which provided excellent results for antioxidant capacity evaluated by 2,2′‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (81.0%–89.7%) and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (60.6%–69.1%) radical scavenging capacity assays. Flour extracts in 70% acetone also exhibited inhibition of α‐amylase (63.3%–78.8%) and amyloglucosidase (63.5%–71.0%). The antibacterial study revealed that extracts inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli, Burkholderia cepacia, and Burkholderia multivorans. Therefore, this study suggests the use of yellow mombin and Brazil plum residues for different food or industrial applications.Practical ApplicationThe knowledge gained from this study will open a new approach to add value to yellow mombin and Brazil plum fruit seeds as sources of fiber and bioactive compounds, with promising application in the formulation of functional and nutraceutical products, benefiting both a sustainable environment and a sustainable industry.
