“…The rate of temperature increase was 2ºC min -1 from 35°C to 80°C, and 4°C min -1 to 150°C, with a total run time of 47 minutes. The system was operated in the scan mode (monitoring) with electron impact ionization at 70eV, and scan mass range from 40 to 550 (m/z) [35]. The resulting data were analyzed using the software MSD Chemstation and the NIST mass spectral library [36].…”

Amburana cearensis seed oil is used in traditional medicine to treat respiratory diseases. However, investigations of the chemical compounds present in this oil are necessary to prove their effectiveness. Thus, we aimed to analyze the compounds present in A. cearensis seeds it was analyzed by histochemical and phytochemical tests. Fatty acids profiles were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detector, which detected the presence of high concentrations of oleic (50.1%), palmitic (15.7%), linoleic (9.7%) acids and linolenic (5.0%). Volatile components were analyzed by headspace extraction and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, with emphasis on the presence of a coumarin, which may be associated with the bronchodilator effect of the oil. Histochemical analysis of the seed oil revealed presence of alkaloids in the cell vacuoles and lipophilic components in drops in the cell cytoplasm. The analysis of A. cearensis seed oil contributed to the understanding of the therapeutic actions of the species and to the prospection of promising compounds for the development of new drugs.

“…The flowers were homogenized at 500 rpm and incubated at 75°C for 5 min. The released volatiles were determined via headspace extraction and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) under the conditions described in Table 1 (Aguiar et al, 2014).…”

Magonia pubescens A.St.-Hil (Sapindaceae) ('tingui') is a typical medicinal plant of the Cerrado biome. This plant is used as a larvicide and employed in poison fishing. However, little is known of its secondary metabolites. In this study, it is described for the first time as the volatile constituents of M. pubescens, collected via headspace. Qualitative phytochemical analyses were performed. In addition, the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extracts of flowers and leaves were evaluated, and the total flavonoids were quantified. The ethanol extracts of flowers (12.67 ± 0.05 rutin equivalent (EQ) g-1) and leaves (11.81 ± 0.05 rutin EQ g-1). The leaf extracts exhibited higher IC 50 values (18.14 ± 0.02 rutin EQ g-1) than did the flower extracts (31.19 ± 0.05 rutin EQ g-1). Twenty volatile compounds were identified in M. pubescens flowers through gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), being identified as benzilic acid (17.9%) and styrene (13.9%) as the major compounds. The antioxidant activity of M. pubescens could be related to the presence of flavonoids and tannins, but further studies need to be conducted to fully understand that correlation. The identified volatiles have the potential to be used in the cosmetics industry due to their socioeconomic relevance, and the may also contribute to the understanding of the reproductive success of this species.

“…It offers fruits of smooth and fibrous epicarp, fleshy and fibrous mesocarp, and dark brown woody endocarp with one to two locules and one to two seeds (Faria et al, 2008). Their fruits are known as Butia or coquinho azedo, being edible and popularly used for the preparation of jelly, juices, ice cream, and liquor, and their leaves are used in handicrafts (Büttow et al, 2009;Peralta et al, 2013;Pereira et al, 2013;Aguiar et al, 2014;Ammar et al, 2014).…”

“…The fruits of Butia are rich in carotenoids, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, ascorbic acid, and minerals (Aguiar et al, 2014). They are considered a source of unsaturated fatty acids, especially suitable for fresh consumption without any drastic heat treatment (Lopes et al, 2012).…”

“…The volatile compounds can vary depending on the stage of their ripeness, as well as the conditions and the storage period, and their postharvest can also influence the chemical composition of the compounds. The chemical characterization of the fruit and the quantitation of their volatile components are important to understand its nutritional value during the maturation process because some organic acids can be a precursor to the synthesis of esters (Aguiar et al, 2014). The importance of bioactive compounds derived from this diet has been established as to help overcome such deficiencies by promoting protection, prevention, or reduction of the effects caused by oxidative stress ).…”

The Butia sp. are native South America trees, whose fruits are consumed in natura and have significant biological properties; however, trees of this genus plant are in danger of extinction. A systematic review of the literature and a technological overview were carried out to summarize the available evidence on the therapeutic uses and the phytochemical compounds of Butia sp. The following electronic databases were researched: MedLine (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo, and the gray literature. Furthermore, the online system such as the US Patent and Trademark Office, Espacenet, National Institute of Industrial Property, and Google Patents were accessed to obtain patent data. The inclusion criteria were articles that describe either the therapeutic uses of Butia sp. (antimicrobial activity, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, antineoplastic activity) or studies describing phytochemical compounds of Butia sp. A limited amount of manual search was also undertaken. Reference lists were scanned to identify other relevant studies, and requests for unpublished data were conducted to people working in the field. Among 12 papers and 14 patents, 9 complete texts of scientific articles and 1 patent were scrutinised by two reviewers. We concluded that Butia has shown some antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity, and its use could have important implications for future therapeutic uses. Although there is evidence of pharmacological potential from in vitro studies, clinical studies must be conducted to confirm the effectiveness of Butia sp. The evidence of its therapeutic uses has not been extensively studied yet, and the available evidence still needs further confirmation. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
