“…Beyond its traditional uses in beverages such as chimarrão, tererê and teas, the consumption of yerba mate has also been stimulated by the presence of biocompounds, mainly methylxanthines and phenolic compounds (Cardozo Júnior et al, 2010;Bracesco, 2019), that are present in high concentrations in its leaves. These compounds have been studied in different regions of the world and have several beneficial effects on human health.…”

“…These compounds have been studied in different regions of the world and have several beneficial effects on human health. Research reports effects such as antioxidant and antiinflammatory (Bracesco, 2019;Tate et al, 2020), controlling obesity (Kim et al, 2015), and reducing heart problems and brain disorders (González Arbeláez et al, 2016;Gerke et al, 2017). However, the concentration of these components in yerba mate may vary depending on the genotype, origin, time of the year in which the harvest is performed, the way leaves are processed, among other environmental conditions (Cardozo Júnior et al, 2010;Butiuk et al, 2016).…”

An especially important species in South America, yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil) is traditionally consumed as tea, chimarrão and tererê. Due to the formation of mate plantations with low productivity and high heterogeneity, genetic improvement actions have been conducted as a way to generate more productive cultivars of this species. In this sense, the present study aimed to estimate phenotypic and genetic parameters of yerba mate production traits earlier in provenance and progeny tests, implanted in the municipalities of Chapecó and Guatambu, in the western region of Santa Catarina State (South America). In each environment, 55 open pollinated yerba mate progenies were evaluated in a randomized complete block design, with five replications and three plants per plot. The traits measured at two years old were: height and crown diameter (m) and at three years were: visually estimated commercial biomass, weighed commercial biomass and thick branch mass (kg). The data obtained was analyzed using the genetic-statistical Selegen software. The results obtained support that there is genetic variability in the open pollinated yerba mate progenies evaluated in Santa Catarina, with possible gains by selecting the best parent trees for future production of improved seeds and for cloning.

“…Among the metabolites investigated in I. paraguariensis , phenolic compounds have attracted great attention in the formulation of new products (Becker et al, 2019; Harris, Lecumberri, Mateos‐Aparicio, Mengíbar, & Heras, 2011; Heck & De Mejia, 2007; Kujawska, 2018). The content of polyphenols in the I. paraguariensis plant confers a great antioxidant capacity to its extracts, which is credited to the ability of those secondary metabolites to sequester free radicals formed at the beginning of cellular oxidation events, as well as to chelate metal elements eventually present in that process (Blum‐Silva et al, 2016; Boaventura, Silva, Liu, et al, 2015; Bracesco, 2019). Indeed, chlorogenic acid, rutin, and also caffeine exhibit a high antioxidant capacity, helping to reduce the negative physiological effects from oxidative stress, and when ingested via functional supplements act as prophylactic agents on generation of free radicals (Dabulici, Sârbu, & Vamanu, 2020).…”

It has been estimated that more than 70% of all drugs approved worldwide between 1981 and 2006 for human health are derived from or structurally similar to natural compounds. The identification of biological matrices containing bioactive compounds with therapeutic and nutraceutical potential is necessary to supply the global market demands. Researches have indicated that the consumption of dry and aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A. St.‐Hil. is safe, providing that plant biomass does not be exposed to smoke over the drying process, avoiding contamination (e.g., ) with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, and can might help avoiding many diseases, with important potential applications in the pharma and nutraceutical industries. A survey was carried out covering the main therapeutic and nutraceutical studies performed on I. paraguariensis extracts and their relationship with the global patents granted in the last 20 years for the products using this specie in their composition. In the PubMed database, by searching for the term “Ilex paraguariensis,” an output with 497 scientific publications was found. Each paper was analyzed individually and 26 publications encompassing exclusively therapeutical and nutraceutical approaches of that plant species were selected. For the patent screening regarding Ilex‐derived products, the survey considered three patent databases: European Patent Office (EPO) (Espacenet), World Intellectual Property Organization, WIPO), and National Institute of Industrial Property (NIIP—Brazil). The criterion chosen to select the patents in the databases was the inclusion of the terms “Ilex paraguariensis” and “yerba mate” in the title and/or in the abstract, considering the patents issued from 2000 to 2020. Additionally, only patents with therapeutic and nutraceutical potential were considered on the survey. The screening and selection of the documents were performed independently by two researchers and the information cross‐checked at the end. This review contributes to show the state of the art over the last 20 years on the knowledge about the therapeutical and nutraceutical usages of the yerba mate, associated to a certain number of issued patents. The patent survey afforded 62 relevant documents covering products based on Ilex paraguariensis biomass. Considering the number of patents issued, most of them are related to the pharmaceutical area (30), followed by food supplements and beverages (17), cosmetics (10) and, finally, nutraceuticals (5). A detailed analysis of the patents issued showed that most are related to pharmaceutical grade products, generally, marketed as oral and injectable compositions for treatments of obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, neurological diseases, and SARS‐Cov‐2, for example. In this work, a curious fact is that there are few patents for food, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals products containing yerba mate. Therefore, it seems to be relevant to take into account the potential of that species as sou...
