“…l Z. mistol radical scavenging capacity reported by Orqueda et al. () (75 μg GAE/mL) was similar to activity showed by free phenolic enriched extract. Nevertheless, all extracts inhibited the enzyme xanthine oxidase and consequently, they efficiently inhibited the generation of superoxide anion (IC 50 values to TDE, free and bound phenolics were 4.25 ± 0.06; 1.4 ± 0.10 and 4.8 ± 0.07, respectively).…”

“…P. nigra mesocarp fine flour showed a low‐fat content (Table ), similar to P. alba pericarp flour (Sciammaro, Ferrero, & Puppo, ) and lower than the content reported for mistol pulp (12.3 g/100g fine flour) (Orqueda et al., ). The crude protein content (7.5%) was higher than P. alba pericarp flour (Cardozo et al., ) (Table ) and chañar flour (5.06%) (Costamagna et al., ).…”

“…Flour exhibits higher carbohydrate content than aqueous and ethanolic extracts obtained from P. nigra pericarp flour (46.37 ± 0.08 and 7.51 ± 0.09 g/100 g pod flour, respectively (Cardozo et al., ). The major soluble sugar was sucrose, 30.35 ± 0.02%, unlike other native fruit flours such as mistol, in which fructose turned out to be the most abundant (Orqueda et al., ). Its digestible starch (DS = 0.25%) and resistant starch (RS = 0.09%) content was lower than wheat flour (60% to 80% of total starch and 30% to 40% of resistant starch) (Świeca, Dziki, & Gawlik‐Dziki, ).…”

Pods of P. nigra are traditional food resources in South America. The non-conventional flour obtained from them is a food that inhibits enzymes linked to carbohydrates metabolism and lipids metabolism, show antioxidant activity and anti-inflamatory activity, principally on COX-2. This natural product is a promising resource that could be used as a functional food or as functional ingredient in food formulations for reduce the risk of the development of obesity. Our studies are relevant to stimulate a sustainable management of this specie and for its development as potential new crops.

“…The effect of PE on free radicals was determined according to Orqueda et al. (2017) by using different concentrations of PE (10 to 50 µg/mL) in the presence of an ABTS •+ solution, with absorbance of 0.7 at 750 nm. The percentage of scavenging was measured spectrophotometrically at 750 nm after 6 min of incubation.…”

The effect of Argentine propolis extracts against enzymes related to metabolic syndrome and oxidative stress, as well as the botanical origin of raw propolis, were studied. Histological and chemical analyses of propolis samples revealed that the botanical origin is Zuccagnia punctata, an Argentine medicinal plant. The melissopalynological analysis showed both pollen grains of Z. punctata and the other plant species. This result indicates that the differences found in the botanical remains compared to the palynological studies may have been caused by the bees selecting resinous shrubs mainly of Z. punctata for the production of propolis and other plants with flowers for the production of honey. The richness of propolis was remarkable in two flavonoid precursors (2´,4´‐dihydroxy‐3´‐methoxychalcone, 2´,4´‐dihydroxychalcone), the major chemical components of Z. punctata. The hydroalcoholic extracts of Argentine propolis and Z. punctata were able to inhibit enzymes associated with the metabolic syndrome, including α‐glucosidase, α‐amylase and lipase, with IC50 values between 7 to 14, 37 to 48, and 13 to 28 µg/mL, respectively. Biological activity was mainly attributed to chalcones. Oxygen and nitrogen reactive species scavenging activity was determined by the assays of superoxide radical (O2•−), hydroxyl radical (HO•), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO•), and cation radical (ABTS•+). Results showed SC50 values between 115 to 278, 12.50 to 46; 39 to 92; 50 to 104.50 and 23 to 33.75 µg/mL, respectively. This study suggests for the first time that propolis from Argentina is highly effective in inhibiting enzymes related to the metabolic syndrome and in free‐radical scavenging that would justify its use as a dietary supplement or as a functional ingredient in special food. Practical Application Propolis from Catamarca, Argentina, is traditionally used as medicine and food. Its botanical origin is Zuccagnia punctata, an endemic plant species popularly used as a medicine in Argentina. Propolis has the ability to regulate the activity of enzymes involved in the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and consequently in metabolic syndrome. Besides, its antioxidant capacity makes it a natural product that can be used as a dietary supplement or as a functional ingredient in special foods. It is important to highlight that in the Argentine Food Code, propolis was incorporated in 2008 as a dietary supplement and the present results give major added value to this product.
