“…An aroma is a complex mixture of many volatile compounds, whose composition is specific to each variety and varies depending on the combination of compounds, concentrations, and the perception of each compound [ 24 ]. According to Siebert et al, 2015, studies using grumixama essential oil show its composition based on the presence of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes [ 25 ].…”

Grumixama (Eugenia brasiliensis Lam.) is a native fruit of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, belonging to the Myrtaceae family, which designatesthe most significant number of species with food potential. It stands out due to its phytochemical characteristics because of the presence of polyphenols and volatile organic compounds. Volatile compounds are substances released by foods that give off an aroma and influence flavor. Solid-phase microextraction is a technique that allows for low-cost, fast, and solvent-free extraction, has an affinity for numerous analytes, and is easily coupled to gas chromatography. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the efficiency of different fibers of SPME (solid-phase microextraction) in the extraction of volatile organic compounds from grumixama pulp; optimize a method for extraction time, temperature, and sample weight; and to determine the characteristic volatile profile of this fruit. For the extraction of volatile compounds, three fibers of different polarities were used: polar polyacrylate (PA) fibers, divinylbenzene/carboxyne/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) semipolar fibers, and polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB). Fourteen volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified by DVB/CAR/PDMS, six by PA, and seven by PDMS/DVB through solid-phase microextraction in the headspace mode (SPME-HS). Considering the total number of compounds identified, regardless of the fiber used, and the optimization of the method, Eugenia brasiliensis presented sesquiterpene fractions (85.7%, 83.3%, and 85.7% of total VOCs) higher than the monoterpene fractions (14.3%, 16.7%, and 14.3%) for DVB/CAR/PDMS, PA, and PDMS/DVB, respectively in its composition. In addition, it was possible to verify that the fiber DVB/CAR/PDMS presented a better efficiency due to the larger chromatographic area observed when the grumixama pulp was subjected to conditions of 75 °C, 2.0 g, and an adsorption time of 20 min.

“…In cagaita pulp (Eugenia dysenterica) α-pinene, (Z)-β-ocimene, and α-terpineol were the major constituents (Dos Santos Dias et al, 2021), whereas uvaiva pulp (Eugenia pyriformis) exhibited different terpenes in the volatile profile (Fernandes de Araújo et al, 2019). Likewise, the volatile profile of araza (Eugenia stipitata) consisted of β-ocimene as the major volatile compound (Fernandes de ; and in pitanga fruit (Eugenia uniflora L.) the volatile composition in four ripening stages was predominantly composed by terpenoid compounds (Santos Silva et al, 2019). These findings suggest that the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) biogenetic pathway is highly activated from the production of terpenes (Souza et al, 2021).…”

The Amazonian fruit known as camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia) has recently attracted attention due to its sensory and biofunctional properties. A sensomics methodology was used to identify the odour-active volatiles of the whole fruit (pulp and peel) by using solvent-assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE), analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O), and sensory evaluation (aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA)) techniques. Four odour-active volatile compounds were reported at concentrations above the odour-activity values: isoamyl acetate, α-pinene, limonene, and β-caryophyllene. Recombination aroma testing further verified that the compounds contributed to the fruity, herbal, citrus, and woody notes of the M. dubia fruit. Furthermore, the fruit in vitro ACE-I inhibition activity was 39.48 ± 12.09 % (at 50 mg/mL, using lisinopril as positive control), showing a potential use as a functional food.

“…In parallel, the red colored fruits consist of 83.9% (w/w) moisture, 13 to 19% carbohydrates, 0.8 to 5% proteins, 2.2% fiber, 1.1% minerals, and 0.4 to 0.9% lipids. Finally, purple fruits are composed by 81% (w/w) moisture, 14.8 to 19% carbohydrates, 1.2 to 5% protein, 2.4% minerals, and 0.4 to 0, 9% lipids (30)(31)(32) (33) .…”

Brazilian native fruit trees have great potential for their use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Among these, the Myrtaceae family stand out for the diversity of known native fruits, as the case of “araçazeiro” or cattley guava [Psidium cattleianum], “pitangueira”, Suriname cherry or Brazilian cherry [Eugenia uniflora], “guabijuzeiro” [Myrcianthes pungens], “guabirobeira” [Campomanesia xanthocarpa] and “uvalheira” [Eugenia pyriformis]. These fruits contain substances of nutritional and potentially functional importance, including dietary fiber, vitamins (especially A and C) and minerals (potassium, iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus), as well as antioxidant compounds, such as phenolics and carotenoids. The consumption of fruits rich in bioactive compounds and high antioxidant activity has the potential to prevent chronic non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemias, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory diseases. For example, Suriname cherry and cattley guava fruit extracts showed anti-hyperglycemic, antidyslipidemic and antioxidant effects in animal models with insulin resistance, cattley guava also showed anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging activities. “Uvaia” has a promising effect as an antimicrobial agent. In this review, summarized information on the main native fruits of the Myrtaceae is presented, highlighting their composition and biological activities in order to direct new research.
