The objective of this article was to evaluate the antioxidant potential and characterize the physical-chemical characteristics of unconventional brazilian fruits (cabeludinha - Myrciaria glazioviana, sapoti - Manilkara zapota, pitomba - Talisia esculenta, yellow gumixama - Eugenia brasiliensis var. Leucocarpus and seriguela - Spondias purpurea). Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, sugars, pigments, phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity were measured. Mature fruits were used in the analyses. Pitomba had high levels of soluble solids, 24.6 °Brix, while sapoti had 0.05 g malic acid 100 g-1 pulp. Yellow grumixama and seriguela had the highest concentrations of anthocyanins and carotenoids. Cabeludinha had a high concentration of phenolic compounds, 451.60 mg gallic acid 100 g-1 pulp. With the exception of sapoti, all fruits had a high antioxidant capacity (> 95%). Key words: Eugenia brasiliensis, Manilkara zapota, Myrciaria glazioviana, Spondias purpurea, Talisia esculenta. Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el potencial antioxidante y caracterizar las propiedades fisicoquímicas de frutas exóticas en Brasil (cabeludinha - Myrciaria glazioviana, sapoti - Manilkara zapota, pitomba - Talisia esculenta, gumixama amarilla - Eugenia brasiliensis var. Leucocarpus y seriguela - Spondias purpurea). Para el efecto se realizaron análisis de sólidos solubles, pH, acidez titulable, azúcares, pigmentos, compuestos fenólicos y actividad antioxidante. Los frutos fueron cosechados en estado de madurez fisiológica y para los análisis se utilizaron las partes comestibles de la fruta. Los frutos presentaron elevado contenido de sólidos solubles y baja acidez titulable, sobresalieron la pitomba con 24.6 °Brix y sapoti con 0.05 g de ácido málico 100 g-1 pulpa. Grumixama amarilla y seriguela resentaron mayor contenido de antocianinas y carotenoides. Cabeludinha presentó elevado contenido de compuestos fenólicos, en promedio de 451.60 mg ácido gálico por 100 g de pulpa. Con excepción de sapoti, todas las frutas mostraron elevada actividad antioxidante (> 95%).

The consumption of fruits is increasing in recent years due to their functional properties. Given the importance of research on natural They contain bioactive substances that have antioxidants and the scarcity of data related antioxidant activities and beneficial effects, of Brazilian native fruits (Alves et al., 2017). despite being present at low concentrations The objective of this work was to characterize (Kaur and Kapoor, 2002, Mélo et al., 2008, the physical-chemical properties and evaluate Carvalho et al., 2016). antioxidant potential in vitro of cabeludinha (Myrciaria glazioviana):yellow grumixama The native Brazilian Mata Atlântica (Eugenia brasiliensis var.

To dissect the genetic basis of these desirable traits, we sequenced and assembled the 408 Mb genome of Corymbia citriodora, anchored into eleven chromosomes. Comparative analysis with Eucalyptus grandis reveals high synteny, although the two diverged approximately 60 million years ago and have different genome sizes (408 vs 641 Mb), with few large intra-chromosomal rearrangements.

Universitária, 1310, Ininga, Teresina, PI, 64049-550, Brazil Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The Quilombola dos Macacos [African descendents] community is located 26 km Southbound from the city hall of São Miguel do Tapuio city – Piauí state, in a vegetation transitional area, predominantly of caatinga. The study aimed at surveying the history, use and modes of conservation of plant resources by the community. Botanical collection and semi-structured interviews were carried out, for an ethnobotanical, socioeconomic and cultural survey. The population of 106 inhabitants lives on subsistence farming, small breeding of domestic animals and wild animal extrativism, occupying an area of 2000 hectares approximately. The agricultural system adopted is the traditional cut-and-burn, using the area for three or four years following a period of fallow not less than six years. The homegardens have a great cultural importance, approaching the family and neighbor bonds and being used as well for vegetable production, complementing nourishment. They use a peculiar language of rural regions and they incorporate rhymes, called “décimas”. The main cultural manifestation is expressed by the reisado (typical dance followed by traditional songs) and the superstitions and popular beliefs are marked by the Aziague day (Unlucky day). Among the modes of use of the vegetal resources, the categories medicinal (74 species), fodder (62), edible (58), mellifluous (47), and woody (45), are manifest.

Considering this, the present study has addressed the use of native arboreal species as sources of food for rural populations in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The aim was to reveal species composition of edible plants, as well as to evaluate the practices used to manage and conserve them. Ethnobotanical indices show the importance of many native trees as local sources of fruits while highlighting the preponderance of the Myrtaceae family.

Desse modo, os parques devem proporcionar o bem-estar para aqueles que o utilizam, além da necessidade de uma cobertura verde abundante. Ela fornece vários bens para o meio ambiente e população pelas suas funções ecológicas, tais como: amenização climática da região, redução da poluição do ar, aumento da umidade relativa, recarga do lençol freático, proteção dos solos, redução de ruídos, referencial urbano, etc. Dessa forma, um parque deve ser bem arborizado para o bem- estar da população. Palavras-chave: arborização urbana, parques verdes, problemáticas.
