“…The differences between our results regarding chemical composition and values reported in studies of other authors are due to variations of factors such as degree of maturity, harvest season, location, and climate (Ferrão et al, 2013;Siriamornpun & Kaewseejan, 2017). Table 2 shows the results of soluble solids, pH, acidity, and color.…”

This study aimed to chemically characterize the pulps of the tropical fruits araticum (Annona crassiflora), buriti (Mauritia flexuosa), coquinho azedo (Butia capitata), cagaita (Eugenia dysenterica), and cajá (Spondias mombin), with a focus on antioxidant potential and microminerals. Calcium levels in the Araticum pulp are 9.35 mg/100 g and the iron content was 4.78 mg/100 g. In cagaita pulp, the calcium content was 15.35 mg/100 g and magnesium content was 66.00 mg/100 g. The iron content present in coquinho pulp was 11.47 mg/100 g and in cagaita it was 11.53 mg/100 g. The extracts with the highest contents of total phenolic compounds were araticum (433.80 mg GAE/g) and coquinho (173.5 mg GAE/g). Araticum pulp had the highest antioxidant potential because it had the lowest EC50 (0.04 mg/mL). The results presented here demonstrate the great potential of the fruits of the Cerrado in terms of rich mineral nutrients and bioactive compounds.

“…The TSS results showed a mean value of 15.2 ± 0.7%. Similar values were found in Butia odorata fruits (13.1–14.6%) [ 17 ], despite Ferrão et al (2013) revealing, for the same species, a value of 9.5 ± 0.0% [ 13 ]. These results are not in agreement with other studies where values reported were 2.4% in leaves and rachis and 4% in fruits [ 2 ].…”

“…The latter value is twice as high than the one reported by Bouhafsoun et al (17.4 ± 0.12%) [ 2 ]. On the other hand, another study showed a higher value (79.6 ± 0.04%) in Butia odorata , which belongs to the same family (Arecaceae) [ 13 ].…”

Elucidation of Antioxidant Compounds in Moroccan Chamaerops humilis L. Fruits by GC–MS and HPLC–MS Techniques

et al. 2021

The aim of this study was to characterize the phytochemical content as well as the antioxidant ability of the Moroccan species Chamaerops humilis L. Besides crude ethanolic extract, two extracts obtained by sonication using two solvents with increased polarity, namely ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and methanol-water (MeOH-H2O) 80:20 (v/v), were investigated by both spectroscopy and chromatography methods. Between the two extracts, the MeOH-H2O one showed the highest total polyphenolic content equal to 32.7 ± 0.1 mg GAE/g DM with respect to the EtOAc extract (3.6 ± 0.5 mg GAE/g DM). Concerning the antioxidant activity of the two extracts, the EtOAc one yielded the highest value (1.9 ± 0.1 mg/mL) with respect to MeOH-H2O (0.4 ± 0.1 mg/mL). The C. humilisn-hexane fraction, analyzed by GC–MS, exhibited 69 compounds belonging to different chemical classes, with n-Hexadecanoic acid as a major compound (21.75%), whereas the polyphenolic profile, elucidated by HPLC–PDA/MS, led to the identification of a total of sixteen and thirteen different compounds in both EtOAc (major component: ferulic acid: 104.7 ± 2.52 µg/g) and MeOH-H2O extracts (major component: chlorogenic acid: 45.4 ± 1.59 µg/g), respectively. The attained results clearly highlight the potential of C. humilis as an important source of bioactive components, making it a valuable candidate to be advantageously added to the daily diet. Furthermore, this study provides the scientific basis for the exploitation of the Doum in the food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

“…In general, jelly palm or butia fruits are described as juicy, sweet, acidic, and with a unique flavour (Ferrão et al, 2013). Fruit of the genotypes studied here were characterised as having a globose depressed shape, and being yellow (genotype 117), orange (genotypes 49, 76 and 88), or red (genotype 115) in colour.…”

Bioactive and yield potential of jelly palms (Butia odorata Barb. Rodr.)

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this descriptive study, Butia odorata genotypes were evaluated for yield, fruit number, pulp yield, bioactive content (including phenolic compounds, carotenoid, anthocyanin, L-ascorbic acid, and fibre content), antioxidant potential, and phenotypic characteristics. Genotype 117 was the highest yielding, with an estimated fruit yield of 22,000 kg ha(-1) and pulp yield of 12,000 kg ha(-1). On the other hand, the lowest yielding genotype, accession 49, showed an estimated fruit yield of 8400 kg ha(-1). Jelly palm fruit were generally rich in phenolic content (280.50-398.50 mg 100(-1)g), carotenoid content (2.80-4.08 mg 100 g(-1)), and L-ascorbic acid content (34.63-63.84 mg 100g(-1)). While the highest yielding genotype was not the richest in bioactive content, the lowest yielding genotype showed the highest l-ascorbic acid content. Although fruit yield and phytochemical composition are desirable attributes in jelly palm fruit, none of the genotypes evaluated showed high levels of both. Therefore, fruit yield and bioactive phytochemical content appear to be inversely proportional.
