“…The presence of phenolic compounds has been reported as a cause of low performance in Nile tilapia (Pinto et al, 2000;Pinto et al, 2004). Mesquite seeds as feed may have their biological value reduced due to the presence of antinutritional factors, such as protease inhibitors, polyphenols, nitrates, oxalates, phytates, saponins and hemagglutinins (Damasceno et al, 2017). The tilapias present the capacity to adapt and adjust their digestive processes (Lin and Luo, 2011).…”

“…Among the alternative energy sources, it is possible to use mesquite (Prosopis juliflora) pod meal, was originated from Peru and was introduced in Brazil in the Northeast region to promote reforestation and animal feed (Damasceno et al, 2017). Mesquite pod meal (MPM) is the main co-product commonly used for consumption, is used in feeds for cattle, goats and sheep (Almeida et al, 2017).…”

Alternative feeds are used to include or replace conventional ingredients in fish diets to generate regional socioeconomic sustainability and maintain the growth performance of fish. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of mesquite pod meal (MPM) in extruded diets for Nile tilapia juveniles fed graded levels of inclusion (26, 32, 38, 44, and 50%). Growth performance variables of plasma metabolites, enzymatic activities and haematological parameters were evaluated. Fish were fed at 6% of biomass for 45 days. Four-hundred Nile tilapias juveniles (11.5 ± 0.18 g) were distributed into twenty-500L aquaria in recirculation system. Significant differences of treatments on performance parameters, feed conversion ratio and survival were observed. Among the metabolic parameters, glycemia was altered (P <0.05). The activities of digestive and transamination enzymes were not influenced (P>0.05) by the inclusion of MPM. Hematological variables did not change (P>0.05). It was concluded that MPM can be included up to 38.67% in diets for Nile tilapia juveniles without impairing performance, metabolism, enzymatic activities and health.

“…Alguns fatores como fácil dispersão, adaptação a áreas com baixa pluviosidade e períodos de seca prolongados e a falta de manejo adequado, a caracterizam como uma espécie exótica invasora na Caatinga. Isso se deve ao fato de não ter coevoluído com as espécies nativas da região, não possuindo, portanto, inimigos naturais que controlem seu crescimento e disseminação (WAKIE; LAITURI; EVANGELISTA, 2016;DAMASCENO;FERRARI;GIORDANI, 2017).…”

As lectinas são um grupo de proteínas que possuem como característica principal a capacidade de estabelecer interações específica e reversivelmente a carboidratos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um levantamento bibliográfico acerca das atividades biotecnológicas das lectinas da espécie Bauhinia forficata, tradicionalmente utilizada na medicina popular por suas propriedades hipoglicemiantes, inclusive é uma das espécies listadas como de interesse ao SUS. Foi realizada busca por artigos científicos no Google Acadêmico, estabelecendo-se como recorte temporal o período de 2000 a 2020. Alguns descritores foram estabelecidos, e os artigos foram escolhidos conforme a relevância. Duas lectinas de B. forficata foram purificadas e caracterizadas, e há trabalhos que relatam estudos com proteínas recombinantes devido à dificuldade de se trabalhar com a forma natural. Dentre as potencialidades biotecnológicas para B. forficata está sua ação anticâncer, tendo sido registrada sua eficácia contra várias linhagens de células cancerígenas, como melanoma, câncer de mama e colorretal.

“…In a recent systematic review by Damasceno et al various aspects of Pju's effectiveness for clinical studies have reviewed, and the authors mentioned that this tree (or similar species) has antioxidant, antibacterial, antimalarial, antiviral, anti-larval, insecticidal, antitumor, anti-diabetic, and anti-emetic properties [108]. The similar profile was also reviewed by Henciya et al, who suggested that Prosopis spp.…”

Members of the Prosopis genus are native to America, Africa and Asia, and have long been used in traditional medicine. The Prosopis species most commonly used for medicinal purposes are P. africana, P. alba, P. cineraria, P. farcta, P. glandulosa, P. juliflora, P. nigra, P. ruscifolia and P. spicigera, which are highly effective in asthma, birth/postpartum pains, callouses, conjunctivitis, diabetes, diarrhea, expectorant, fever, flu, lactation, liver infection, malaria, otitis, pains, pediculosis, rheumatism, scabies, skin inflammations, spasm, stomach ache, bladder and pancreas stone removal. Flour, syrup, and beverages from Prosopis pods have also been potentially used for foods and food supplement formulation in many regions of the world. In addition, various in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed interesting antiplasmodial, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic and wound healing effects. The phytochemical composition of Prosopis plants, namely their content of C-glycosyl flavones (such as schaftoside, isoschaftoside, vicenin II, vitexin and isovitexin) has been increasingly correlated with the observed biological effects. Thus, given the literature reports, Prosopis plants have positive impact on the human diet and general health. In this sense, the present review provides an in-depth overview of the literature data regarding Prosopis plants’ chemical composition, pharmacological and food applications, covering from pre-clinical data to upcoming clinical studies.
