The Effects of SupplementingHancornia speciosa(Mangaba) on Bowel Motility and Inflammatory Profile of Wistar Rats

Biotechnological potential of Hancornia speciosa whole tree: A narrative review from composition to health applicability

“…Regarding the dietary fibers present in the mangabeira fruits, the average value obtained by this work was 13%, with individual values ranging from 1 to 38% [ 18 , 19 ]. Taking into account that the recommendation of dietary fiber intake for women between 19 and 50 years old is 25 g per day [ 20 ], the consumption of 100g of mangabeira fruits supplies 51% of the reference value, while its seeds alone supply 47%.…”

“… Ref: references (leaves n = 3 [ 17 , 98 , 101 ]; fruit n = 11 [ 7 , 19 , 100 , 30 , 43 , 63 , [94] , [95] , [96] , [97] , 99 ]; Seed n = 1 [ 14 ]). …”

Impact of processing and packages on bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of Mangaba Jelly

“…Its pulp is whitish, fleshy, viscous, sweet and slightly acid (Clerici & Carvalho-Silva, 2011). Recently, mangaba fruit has been attracting much attention not only because of its unique flavor and nutritional properties, but also because of its high content of health-promoting phytochemicals, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, folic acid, and phenolic compounds (Lima et al, 2015a, b;Gonçalves et al, 2019;Reis et al, 2019). Various in vitro, animal, and human clinical trials studies have consistently shown that the intake of mangaba fruit is associated with a wide range of pharmacological activities including antioxidant, and antimutagenic (Lima et al, 2015a), anti-cancer (Araújo et al, 2019), and anti-inflammatory (Bitencourt et al, 2019;Reis et al, 2019;Torres-Rêgo et al, 2016).…”

Indeed, in previous study with male Swiss mice through bone marrow micronucleus test, in vivo gut micronucleus test, comet assay, gut apoptosis cells and oxidative stress was reported a first antimutagenic effect of mangaba fruit pulp (Lima et al, 2015a).…”

How freezing methods affect the sensory profile of pasteurized and unpasteurized mangaba pulp

“…Among the fruits with high nutritional and bioactive value, mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes), an exotic fruit of the Brazilian Cerrado of the Apocynaceae family, contains high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds, in addition to high antioxidant capacity, and has aroused great interest for its beneficial health effects demonstrated in recent research (Reis et al, 2019;Lima et al, 2015;Pereira et al, 2015).…”
