Nutritional value, phytochemistry, health benefits, and potential food applications of Pouteria campechiana (Kunth) Baehni: A comprehensive review

Chemical analysis and bioactive compounds from agrifood by-products of peruvian crops

“…However, there are few studies on this agroindustrial waste (Pouteria lucuma). In this sense, when comparing with other varieties of Pouteria, it is observed that the protein content was higher than that reported by Do et al (2023) (1.12 g/100 g DW). The fat content was similar to that reported by Da Costa et al ( 2010) and Do et al (2023), being 4.62 and 6.27 g /100 g DW, respectively, who worked with the Pouteria variety campechiana.…”

The ash content would be composed of potassium, manganese, and iron, as indicated by Aguiar et al (2019) in Pouteria elegans.…”

“…Likewise, Taguri et al (2004) mention that the degree of polymerization and the number of hydroxyl groups could directly affect the antimicrobial activity of each phenolic compound. The lucuma seed extract exhibited antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli and antifungal activity against Penicillium digitatum, as well as the essential oil of P. campechiana seeds, which had potent antimicrobial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria (Ma et al, 2019;Do et al, 2023). According to Maria et al (2012), the catechins present in the lucuma seed (Table 2), such as gallocatechin (epimerized form), tend to have a more significant antagonistic effect against S. aureus and E. coli, followed by epigallocatechin, which inhibits growth and causes the death of S. aureus (Kitichalermkiat et al, 2020), caused by the union of hydrogen bonds with the membrane proteins of S. aureus (Zhao et al, 2001;Madhan et al, 2007), which affects its functions, such as decreasing glucose uptake or its protection against external stress (Kitichalermkiat et al, 2019).…”

Surface ligand modified silver nanoparticles-based SERS sensing platform for ultrasensitive detection of the pesticide thiram in green tea leaves: roles of coating agents in sensing performance

“…21 However, it is worth noting that compounds with this structure have been detected in several plant extracts. 24 Moreover, the peak 556 cm −1 is shied 20 cm −1 compared to the peaks detected on the other two kinds of e-AgNPs. It may be due to the complex organic coating layer of e-Ag-bio, and the peak at 928 cm −1 could have been overlapped by other foreign peaks.…”
