“…Barbados cherry (Malpighia glabra L.) or acerola, as it is called in Brazil (Kawaguchi et al, 2007;Mezadri et al, 2008), is a fruit that is considered as an excellent source of antioxidant. According to Caetano et al (2009), acerola extracts have significant amounts of total phenolics (1,780.6 to 5,954.2 µg catechinequivalent.mL -1 ) and good DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhidrazil) scavenging capacity (>70%), which makes it a promising source of natural antioxidants.…”

“…It is very popularly used due to its astringent, antifungal and antianemic properties, as well as its nutritional capacity and vitamin content. Chemical composition of acerola, including the distribution of components, varies between cultivars with environmental conditions and also with the stage of fruit ripeness [5,6]. The fruit ripens quickly after being picked (within 2 to 3 days), at room temperature [5].…”

Genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects of acerola fruit at two stages of ripeness were investigated using mice blood cells. The results show that no ripeness stage of acerola extracts presented any genotoxic potential to damage DNA (Comet assay) or cytotoxicity (MTT assay). When antigenotoxic activity was analyzed, unripe fruit presented higher DNA protection than ripe fruit (red color) extract. The antioxidant capacity of substances also showed that unripe samples inhibit the free radical DPPH more significantly than the ripe ones. The results about determination of compounds made using HPLC showed that unripe acerola presents higher levels of vitamin C as compared to ripe acerola. Thus, vitamin C and the complex mixture of nutrients of Malpighia glabra L., and especially its ripeness stages, influenced the interaction of the fruit extract with the DNA. Acerola is usually consumed when ripe (red fruit), although it is the green fruit (unripe) that has higher potential as beneficial to DNA, protecting it against oxidative stress.

“…Kawaguchi et al [37] described the flavonoid leucocyanidin-3-O-beta-D-glucoside and gave it the trivial name “aceronidin”, which possesses stronger antioxidative activity than alpha-tocopherol. Acerola also contains carotenoids that associated with bioflavonoids provide important nutrients and have a potential use as antioxidant.…”

Knowing that maternal diabetes is related to hyperglycemia and fetal hyperinsulinemia, which affect the lipid metabolism, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Malpighia emarginata (acerola) juice on the glycemic and lipid profile of offspring of diabetic and nondiabetic Wistar rats. The adult offspring of non-diabetic dams and of dams with severe streptozotocin-induced diabetes were divided into groups: G1, offspring (of control dams) treated with water, G2, offspring (of diabetic dams) treated with water, G3, male offspring (of control dams) treated with acerola juice, and G4, male offspring (of diabetic dams) treated with acerola juice. The offspring of diabetic dams treated with acerola juice showed significantly decreased levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and increased HDL-c. The use of acerola juice is a potential strategy to aid in the prevention of DM and dyslipidemia and its complications or to act as an auxiliary in the treatment of these diseases.
