Rivina humilis L. (Petiveriaceae), commonly known as the pigeon berry, accumulates betalains in berries. The present study was focused on identifying the phytoconstituents, mineral content, fatty acid composition, phenolics, flavonoids, antinutritional factors, and antioxidant activities of different plant parts (leaf, stem, root, and seeds), which are otherwise not well explored. Phytoconstituent analysis revealed seeds as a potential source of carbohydrates (50.15 g/100 g), proteins (10.96 g/100 g), and fats (11.25 g/100 g). Roots showed the highest fat (17.66 g/100 g) and dietary fiber (81.49 g/100 g). Leaves and roots contain more iron (29.59 and 29.39 mg/100 g), whereas seed has high zinc content (12.09 mg/100 g). Leaf oil showed 47.83 g/100 g of omega-3-fatty acid, confirmed by GC-MS analysis. Seed oil showed 22.23 g/100, 44.48 g/100, and 24.04 g/100 g of palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids, respectively. The leaf extract has the highest TPC (597.55 mg/ 100 g), followed by the seed (421.68 mg/100 g). The leaf's 80% ethanolic extract had high TFC (2442.19 mg/100 g), followed by 70% methanolic extract (1566.25 mg/100 g). The antinutritional profile indicated significant phytic acid and oxalates in the leaf (9.3 g/100 and 2.07 g/100 g) and stem (6.9 and 1.58 g/100 g) and low tannin content (<0.5 g/100 g). The leaf's 80% ethanolic extract exhibited double the TAA than 70% methanolic extract (1.52 g/100 g). The leaf with an 80% ethanolic extract had the lowest DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging EC 50 (2.22 and 0.37 mg/mL). The leaf with an 80% ethanolic extract (479.73 mg/100 g) and seed (391.14 mg/100 g) had the highest FRAP activity. Our study proves that different parts of R. humilis had a good content of phytoconstituents, bioactives, and antioxidant activities. Hence, R. humilis leaves and seeds are a novel source of omega fatty acids and minerals reported for the first time and have potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

“…-FE is very rich in phenolics and cinnamic acids (more than 40% of total phenolics, as shown in Figure 2) and in chlorogenic acid (489.94 ± 0.79 mg/100 g FW), followed by ferulic acid (295.28 ± 0.68 mg/100 g FW); it is also rich in catechins, especially epicatechin (270.51 ± 0.89 mg/100 g FW), and flavonols, especially hyperoside (242.26 ± 0.89 mg/100 g FW), and benzoic acids, especially ellagic acid (214.49 ± 0.69 mg/100 g FW), as shown in Figure 2. Fraxinus excelsior L. (FE) has been widely used in traditional medicine due to several claimed beneficial health effects including antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anti-rheumatic and anti-pyretic activities [17]. Several findings from in vivo studies showed that the FE extract has hypoglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic activities, providing anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects [18,19].…”

Bud derivatives (BDs) represent a category of botanicals obtained by macerating the meristematic tissues (buds or young sprouts) of plants; widely used since ancient times in complementary medicine, they remain poorly investigated to date. In this study, a contribution is made toward the identification of the correct “a posteriori” attribution of the botanical species in commercial BDs, which is very important for ensuring the quality and safety of these natural products. Excitation–emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy proved to be a rapid, non-destructive and low-cost analytical instrument for providing a preliminary qualitative characterization of the BDs, allowing for the identification of specific spectral regions related to flavonol compounds and cinnamic and benzoic acids, in agreement with the targeted chromatographic analysis (HPLC-DAD), which completely defined a phytochemical profile for each BD considered. This information will be implemented in the first web application for the recognition of vegetable buds, named GEMMAPP, which was designed by the Authors and is proposed as a tool and future scientific data repository for providing information about the main, typical BDs of the France–Italy Alcotra territory.

“…No caso de obtenção de óleos, existem vários estudos que têm focado neste ramo, seja na produção de combustíveis, seja na área alimentícia, por exemplo, com dados bastante promissores e características de suprir as necessidades da atualidade (NADERI et al, 2020;SAVVA;KAFATOS, 2016;TUMBA et al, 2021;VIJAYAKUMAR et al, 2016). Nomeadamente, o Brasil dispõe de uma variedade enorme de plantas, inclusive oleaginosas, em decorrência de sua grande área territorial e dos diferentes tipos de solos e climas(DA SILVA-ARAÚJO; DE MOURA; CHAVES, 2010).…”

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a estabilidade do óleo da semente de inajá (Maximiliana maripa) sob duas condições distintas: refrigerado e protegido da luz (RAL) e temperatura e luz ambiente (TLA). Para tanto, foram utilizados como parâmetros físico-químicos os índices de acidez, peróxidos e iodo, os quais foram determinados segundo as metodologias descritas nas Normas Analíticas pelo Instituto Adolfo Lutz (2008). O método estatístico utilizado foi a análise de variância. Os resultados revelaram que ao longo do tempo houve uma evolução no processo oxidativo do óleo, apesar de permanecer abaixo dos valores máximos permitidos pela legislação brasileira. Por outro lado, as observações estatísticas mostraram que não houve diferença significativa nos testes realizados nas duas condições.
