“…The results of the present investigation on TDF contents of wild passion indicate that the TDF values are much higher than the TDF values of corresponding fruits (Table 1), and all values were assessed by enzymatic and gravimetric methods (Prosky et al, 1988). The discrepancies observed between the results of the present study and those reported by Souza et al (2012), Unicamp (2011) and USDA (2015a; 2015b) could be due to climatic or soil condition differences.…”

“…When comparing the values found in this study with the proximal composition of sweet passion fruit and yellow passion fruit, as described in the literature (Souza et al, 2012;UNICAMP, 2011), the wild passion fruit has similar levels of moisture, protein, carbohydrate and ash content. But it is distinguished by the absolute value of total dietary fiber (TDF) content and lower caloric value (Table 1).…”

“…In the literature, it is observed that P. alata has a pH value (3.31) similar to this passion fruit, whereas P. edulis genus has lower pH (2.93) than the passion fruit under study. P. edulis it is the closest to the wild passion fruit, with values between 3.91 to 4.68%; P. alata has a lower TA (2.00%) (Souza et al, 2012;De Marchi, Monteiro, Benato, & Silva, 2000). As for the content of soluble solids (SS), the value of 17.80° Brix was found, which is above the range of 13.08 to 15.00°Brix cited in the literature for other passion fruit species (De Marchi et al, 2000;Fortaleza, Peixoto, Junqueira, Oliveira, & Rangel, 2005).…”

ABSTRACT. The objective of this study was to determine the proximal composition, the physical and chemical characteristics and the in vitro antioxidant capacity (DPPH, ABTS and FRAP) of the pulp of the wild passion fruit (Passiflora glandulosa Cav.) from Cariri region, Ceara, Brazil. The results showed that the proximal composition and the caloric value of this passion fruit are similar to other species, but with a high ascorbic acid content. The fruit pulp showed low level of antioxidant activity and low level of polyphenolic compounds followed by three methodologies used. Due to high levels of titratable acidity (3.52) and total soluble solids (17.80° Brix), this fruit can be considered as a high value fruit for commerce. However, it is a species of passion fruit with few studies described in the literature, and more research is needed to assess its nutritional and functional potential.Keywords: functional food, agricultural, dietary fiber, phenolics, natural antioxidants.Atividade antioxidante e análise físico-química da polpa do maracujá (Passiflora glandulosa Cav.) nativo da região do Cariri RESUMO. O objetivo do estudo foi determinar a composição centesimal, as características físicas e químicas e a capacidade antioxidante (DPPH, ABTS e FRAP) in vitro da polpa do maracujá-do-mato (Passiflora glandulosa Cav.) da região do Cariri, Ceará, Brasil. Os resultados demonstraram que a composição centesimal e o valor calórico desse tipo de maracujá são similares a outras espécies, mas com nível elevado de ácido ascórbico. A polpa apresentou baixo teor de polifenóis e baixa atividade antioxidante para as três metodologias aplicadas. Em razão dos altos níveis de acidez titulável (3,52) e sólidos solúveis totais (17,80° Brix), este fruto pode ser considerado como um fruto de alto valor para o comércio. Porém, esta é uma espécie de maracujá pouco descrita na literatura, sendo necessárias mais análises para avaliar seu potencial valor nutricional e funcional.Palavras-chave: alimento funcional, agricultura, fibra dietética, fenólicos, antioxidantes naturais.

“…In fact, several plants provide health benefits by exhibiting antihemorrhagic (Mazzolin et al, 2010), antioxidant (Souza et al, 2012), and antimutagenic activities (Vilar et al, 2009b). Moreover, several studies have demonstrated that numerous active compounds from Brazilian Cerrado plants show promising biological properties for cancer therapy (de Mesquita et al, 2009).…”

ABSTRACT. Lafoensia pacari (Lythraceae), popularly known in Brazil as "pacari", is a small tree native to the Cerrado that is used in folk medicine to treat cancer and as an anti-inflammatory and cicatrizing agent. We evaluated the genotoxic, cytotoxic, antigenotoxic, and anticytotoxic activities of an ethanol extract of L. pacari stem bark (EESB) using the Ames test and the mouse bone marrow micronucleus test. In the Ames test, EESB did not significantly increase the number of His + revertants in Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98 and TA100 at all doses, demonstrating lack of mutagenicity. Only the highest dose of EESB significantly increased the micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte frequency in the micronucleus test, indicating mild genotoxicity. EESB produced a mutagenic index lower than the negative control in the Ames test. In the micronucleus test, at all doses, EESB caused a significant decrease in the polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocyte ratio (PCE/NCE) at 24 h compared with the negative control. EESB co-administered together with the respective positive control caused a significant decrease in the number of His + revertant colonies in the Ames test and in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the micronucleus test, demonstrating a DNA protector effect. EESB co-administered with mitomycin C significantly increased the PCE/NCE ratio at all doses, showing an anticytotoxic effect. We conclude that EESB has antigenotoxic and anticytotoxic properties.

Increased fruit consumption due its protective effect on the organism is accompanied by the development of the processing industry of these products. The aim of this work was to optimize fruit pulp‐based beverage formulations from the murici and tapereba Amazon region, taking into account their sensory acceptance and antioxidant activity. Total soluble solid content, reducing sugar content, titratable acidity contents, pH, and ascorbic acid content were determined in pulps and formulations. The total content phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were also evaluated. A 22 factorial experiment was formulated to optimize ingredients for the production of murici and tapereba fruit drinks. The murici pulp had higher acidity and higher ascorbic acid content. The analysis of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity presented higher quantity in tapereba pulp. Tapereba‐based beverages had better acceptance by the evaluated criteria. Fruit‐based beverages murici and tapereba are a well‐accepted product and have important nutritional characteristics.
