Spirulina microalgae, belonging to the group of filamentous cyanobacteria, is found naturally in lakes or alkaline lagoons and can be cultivated on a large scale under controlled environmental conditions. Notably, Spirulina is very explored in the literature due to its high nutritional value and the presence of bioactive compounds, particularly, natural pigments such as phycobiliproteins.…
The beneficial health properties had led to consumers growing interest in the consumption of products containing bioactive compounds. Among the more than 20 thousand species of plants present in the Atlantic Forest the jussara fruit (Euterpe edulis Mart.) stands out for its contents of phenolic and other bioactive compounds present in its composition. The biological action of phenolic com…
The growing interest in the consumption of products that present bioactive compounds is directly related to their beneficial health properties. Among more than 20 thousand species of plants present in the Brazialian Atlantic Forest, juçara (Euterpe edulis Mart.) Stands out due to the contents of phenolic compounds and other bioactive compounds present in its composition. The biological ac…
The jussara pulp derives from Euterpe edulis Mart. a palm tree is a typical Atlantic Forest, and its composition presents a high level of phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins. The anthocyanins are natural pigment and provide a lot of biological effects to human health, including its antioxidant activity, being able to promote the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases. On the…
The juçara (Euterpe edulis Mart.) is a typical palm tree from the Atlantic Forest, which occupies a vast territory, from southern Bahia to Rio Grande do Sul. Juçara pulp can be considered a source of bioactive compounds, especially concerning the content of phenolic compounds and, especially, anthocyanins. The biological action of anthocyanins has been demonstrated in vitro experiments, h…
