“…This chemical composition is similar to that obtained by Elfarnini et al [35], in which sesquiterpenes represent the predominant group of terpenes in feijoa EO. This chemical similarity is probably due to the introduction of the same variety in France and North Africa.…”

“…In the present study, lower concentrations of 3-ottanone (4.27%), methyl-benzoate (4.46%), and ethyl-benzoate (0.92%) were observed with respect to the previous ones [34,37,41]. Nevertheless, the results are similar to those reported by Elfarnini et al [35]. Difference observed among studies are ascribed, probably to the fruit variety, and specifically ascribed to the maturation grade.…”

“…The yield in EO obtained was 0.8% ( v/w ), consistently higher than previously reported (< 0.1%) [34]. The amount and quality of feijoa EO could be dependent of the fruit variety, as well as its origin, genotype, soil type, climate, and isolation method [35]. Moreover, an increase in the isolation efficiency was observed when it was carried out immediately after harvesting.…”

“…In light of this, the phytochemical profile of the feijoa EO may differ, mainly in relation to variety and maturation of plants [35]. In the present study, lower concentrations of 3-ottanone (4.27%), methyl-benzoate (4.46%), and ethyl-benzoate (0.92%) were observed with respect to the previous ones [34,37,41].…”

Acca sellowiana (O. Berg) Burret (Feijoa) is an evergreen shrub, belonging to the Mirtaceae family. The aim of this study was to investigate the micromorphological features of the feijoa fruit peel and to evaluate the phytochemical profile, as well as the antioxidant, cytoprotective, and antimicrobial properties of its essential oil (EO), by several in vitro cell-free and cell-based assays. The micromorphological analysis showed several schizogenic secretory cavities, immediately below the epidermal layer. Forty compounds were identified and quantified by GC-FID and GC-MS analyses. Sesquiterpenes were the most abundant ones (76.89%), followed by monoterpene hydrocarbons (3.26%), and oxygenated monoterpenes (0.34%). The main compounds were γ-Selinene (17.39%), α-Cariophyllene (16.74%), β-Cariophyllene (10.37%), and Germacene D (5.32%). The EO showed a strong and dose-dependent antioxidant, and free-radical scavenging activity. Furthermore, it showed cytoprotective activity on the lymphocytes, that have been pre-treated with 100 μM tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BOOH), as well as a decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), induced by t-BOOH on erythrocytes. A preliminary antimicrobial screening against GRAM+ and GRAM− bacteria, as well as on fungi highlighted that EO showed the best activity against S. aureus and C. albicans (MIC 2.7 mg/mL). In light of these results, feijoa fruit EO could find various applications, especially in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical fields.

Screening of Feijoa (Acca Sellowiana (O. Berg) Burret) Fruit Effect on Proliferation and Apoptosis using Bone Marrow derived Stem Cells Model

et al. 2020

Background and Objective: Curative properties of Feijoa sellowiana Bert. (Myrtaceae, Acca sellowiana), have been often claimed, while investigations into details of its bioactivities are still lacking. This study investigated the effect of acetonic extract of Feijoa (Acca sellowiana (O. Berg) Burret) fruit on proliferation and apoptosis of bone marrow derived stem cells. Methodology: Human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) were characterized before experiments. MTT Assay was performed to determine the toxicity of Feijoa. The growth kinetics was also investigated until 7 days. Real time PCR assessed the expression of apoptosis genes. Results: In MTT assay, Feijoa at doses ≤ 5 ng/ml did not show any cytotoxic effect on hBMSCs and increased the cell proliferation until day 4 th followed by a decrease until day 7 th. Population doubling time (PDT) decreased until day 4 th followed by an increase until day 7 th. A significant increase in expression of Bax and decrease Bcl-2 expression were recorded on day 7 th. Conclusion: The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and modulatory activities of Feijoa can explain the increasing effect on cell proliferation till day 4 th , but the apoptotic activity of Feijoa noted after four days is reported for the first time denoting to the short term antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and modulatory properties of Feijoa that should be considered for curative activity of this fruit.

This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of essential oils isolated from Acca sellowiana (feijoa) leaves and stems and elaborate on their relevance as natural anti-aging, coupled with molecular-docking studies. The isolated oils were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and investigated for inhibitory effects against acetylcholinesterase, β-secretase, collagenase, elastase and tyrosinase. Molecularmodelling study was performed using MOE-Dock program to evaluate binding interactions of major components with the above-mentioned targets. The leaf oil revealed the predominance of caryophyllene oxide (24.3 %), linalool (7.9 %), and spathulenol (6.6 %), while the stem oil was presented by caryophyllene oxide (38.1 %), αzingiberene (10.1 %) and humulene oxide II (6.0 %). The stem oil expressed superior inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (IC 50 = 0.15 � 0.01 μg/mL), β-secretase (IC 50 = 3.99 � 0.23 μg/mL), collagenase (IC 50 = 408.10 � 20.80 μg/mL), elastase (IC 50 = 0.17 � 0.01 μg/mL) and tyrosinase (IC 50 = 8.45 � 0.40 μg/mL). The valuable binding interactions and docking scores were observed for caryophyllene oxide and α-zingiberene with acetylcholinesterase. Besides, α-zingibirene followed by linalool and τ-cadinol revealed tight fitting with collagenase and elastase. Additionally, linalool, spathulenol and τ-cadinol showed the best binding energy to tyrosinase. This study provides valuable scientific data on A. sellowiana as potential candidates for the development of natural antiaging formulations. The current study provided scientific evidence for the potential use of feijoa essential oils in antiaging formulations and as an adjuvant for the prophylaxis against Alzheimer disease.
