Non-Polar Natural Products from Bromelia laciniosa, Neoglaziovia variegata and Encholirium spectabile (Bromeliaceae)

Abstract: Extensive regional droughts are already a major problem on all inhabited continents and severe regional droughts are expected to become an increasing and extended problem in the future. Consequently, extended use of available drought resistant food plants should be encouraged. Bromelia laciniosa, Neoglaziovia variegata and Encholirium spectabile are excellent candidates in that respect because they are established drought resistant edible plants from the semi-arid Caatinga region. From a food safety perspectiv… Show more

“…These include α-Tocopherol (vitamin E) and the 5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)chromen-4-one flavone, also known as scuttelarein. Previously, α-Tocopherol was reported in four species of the family B. laciniosa (1.8% content in hexane leaves extract), N. variegate (1.5% content in hexane leaves extract), E. spectabile (0,9% content in hexane leaves extract) and Ananas erectifolius (31.4 mg/Kg of fiber) 2,32 . The presence of vitamin E in N. procerum crude extracts increase the antioxidant and nutritional importance of the specie.…”

“…Furthermore, palmitic, oleic and ɣ-Linolenic acids are lipidic compounds commonly detected in Bromeliads 36 Other minor constituents detected were stearic and palmitoleic acids, previously reported in A. erctifolius L.B.Sm. 32 , B. pinguin L. 36 2 . Moreover, eicosanoic and tricosanoic acids were also described (Table 3) and, to our knowledge, it was the first time these compounds are found in bromeliads leaves extracts.…”

“…The randomized experimental studies of analysis of food composition totaled five [24,34–37]. These studies presented indicators of nutritional composition (macronutrients, micronutrients, and bioactive compounds), ranging from 1 to 14 species per study, with an average of approximately five species.…”
