“…These authors have been studied this seed and its by-products as a rich source of phenolic compounds, such as myricetin and, vanillic, ferulic, and ellagic acids. These bioactive compounds may display anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects, which have contributed to the potential use of L. pisonis for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food applications, such as a plant-based milk enhancer, confectionery flour and others ( Barreto et al, 2020 , Demoliner et al, 2020 , Lopes et al, 2021 , Teixeira et al, 2018 ). Moreover, polyphenols present in Brazil nuts and Sapucaia nuts could bind to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2), thus preventing that virus entry in host cells, as they may hold the same binding site that S protein from SARS-CoV-2 ( Paraiso, Revel, & Stevens, 2020 ).…”
