“…It has been reported that quercetin, the main flavonoid of Psidium guajava leaves had many pharmacological activities. According to Alikaridis (1987) and Yuting et al(1990), quercetin isolated from Ilex species has free radical scavenging activity and lipid antiperoxidation activity, and may relax intact aortic rings (Muccillo Baisch et al, 1998). Formica and Regelson (1995) reported that quercetin exhibited antioxidant and spasmolytic effects.…”

Crude decoction, aqueous and ethanolic extracts of two medicinal plants (Psidium guajava and Diospyros mespiliformis), widely used in the central plateau of Burkina Faso to treat many diseases were evaluated for their antagonistic effects on caffeine induced calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum of rat skeletal muscle cells. These different extracts showed a decrease of caffeine induced calcium release in a dose dependent manner. Comparison of the results showed that Psidium guajava leaf extracts are more active than extracts of Diospyros mespiliformis and that crude decoctions show better inhibitory activity. The observed results could explaine their use as antihypertensive and antidiarrhoeal agents in traditional medicine, by inhibiting intracellular calcium release.

“…Pertence à família Aquifoleaceae e ao gênero Ilex, tem sua origem na América do Sul, nos países Argentina, Paraguai e Brasil, neste distribuído pelos estados do Mato Grosso, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul. Apresenta uma maior produção na região sul do Brasil, especificamente no Rio Grande do Sul, devido ao consumo tradicional do chimarrão (Alikaridis, 1987;Bruneton, 1993;Esmelindro et al, 2002).…”

"Antimicrobial activity of extracts of the leaves and branches of Ilex paraguariensis (erva-mate)". For the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of Ilex paraguariensis six microorganisms were used: Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. In disks of filter paper 10 µl of hydro-alcoholic extracts of the leaves and branches from two distinct environments were added, with and without sun exposure. The extracts have inhibited levedura, gram-negative bacillus and gram-positive cocos, with no activity to Escherichia coli.

“…The composition of yerba mate has been partially characterized and it includes a variety of polyphenols, xanthines, caffeoyl derivatives, saponins, and minerals that may be responsible for pharmacological activity (Alikaridis, 1987;Gosmann and Schenkel, 1989;Carini et al, 1998;Clifford and Ramírez-Martínez, 1990;Filip et al, 2001;Bastos et al, 2006;Bravo et al, 2007;Cardozo et al, 2007;Heck and de Mejia, 2007;Marques and Farah, 2009) (Table 1). Studies have suggested that yerba mate leaves may have antioxidant (Gugliucci and Stahl, 1995;Carini et al, 1998;Filip et al, 2000;Bastos et al, 2006;Anesini et al, 2006;Bastos et al, 2007;Pagliosa et al, 2010), antiobesity (Andersen and Fogh, 2001), antidiabetic (Lunceford and Gugliucci, 2005), diuretic (Gorgen et al, 2005), chemopreventative, antifungal , and stimulant (Filip et al, 1998;Athayde et al, 2000) properties.…”

Yerba Mate is a popular tea beverage produced and consumed in the South American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, and is processed from the leaves and stems of Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil., a perennial shrub from the Aquifoliaceae family. Production occurs in six stages: harvesting older leaves and small stems, roasting by direct fire, drying under hot air, milling to specified size, aging to acquire optimal sensory attributes, and final packaging. While grown and consumed for centuries in South America, its popularity is increasing in the United States because of demand by consumers for healthier, more natural foods, its filling a niche for a different type of tea beverage, and for Yerba Mate's potential health benefits-antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiobesity, anti-diabetic, digestive improvement, stimulant, and cardiovascular properties. Cultivation, production and processing may cause a variation in bioactive compounds biosynthesis and degradation. Recent research has been expanded to its potential use as an antimicrobial, protecting crops and foods against foodborne, human and plant pathogens. Promising results for the use of this botanical in human and animal health has prompted this review. This review focuses on the known chemical composition of Yerba Mate, the effect of cultivation, production and processing may have on composition, along with a specific discussion of those compounds found in Yerba Mate that have antimicrobial properties.
