Nutritional and Phytochemical Profile and Potential Anticancer Benefits of Amazonian Exotic Fruits.
The focus on natural compounds and their potential health benefits has gained considerable momentum in scientific research, particularly in the context of cancer prevention and treatment, a global issue that demands innovative approaches. Among natural sources, fruits from the Amazon rainforest have garnered attention for their rich nutritional profiles and bioactive compounds, which may provide therapeutic properties. This study aimed to compile scientific data found in the literature up to 2025 on the nutritional compounds, phytochemicals, and anticancer properties of selected fruits includi

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictors of tensile strength of nylon and polyglycolic acid when immersed in Peruvian camu camu and tumbo juices. METHODS: An in vitro experimental and comparative study was conducted following the CRIS guidelines for reporting laboratory studies. A total of 192 samples of sutures were tested under laboratory conditions, measuring their initial resistance at days 3, 7, and 14. The juices, prepared in an artisanal way to preserve their natural characteristics, were monitored for pH daily. Mechanical tests were performed using a digital tensile machine, and data were
PubMed: 41659124Effect of consumption of Brazilian berries on intestinal health: a systematic review of in vivo studies.
Brazilian berries-such as jabuticaba, açaí, camu-camu, acerola, and other native species-have attracted growing interest due to their richness in polyphenols (anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic acids), vitamin C, dietary fiber, and other nutrients. Nevertheless, many of these fruits remain underexplored or poorly known in the scientific literature. This systematic review aimed to answer the following questions: "How does the consumption of Brazilian berries influence gut health in vivo?" and "What are the main mechanisms involved in this process?" A comprehensive literature search was conducte
PubMed: 40742030Nutritional Composition, Pharmacological Properties, and Industrial Applications of Myrciaria dubia: An Undiscovered Superfruit.
The diminutive recognized fruit Myrciaria dubia, innate to the Amazon, has only newly attained nutritional superstar status due to its dense content of bioactive compounds. Despite its potential, processing concerns, unsustainable fabrication, and a deficiency of experimental trials hinder its broader application. This review aimed to highlight the nutritional composition, pharmacological properties, and industrial applications of Myrciaria dubia, emphasizing its potential as a functional ingredient in various sectors. The bioactive profile of Myrciaria dubia comprises vitamin C, polyphenols,
PubMed: 40417739Emerging berries from the Brazilian Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes: new sources of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits.
Brazil has a broad geographic biodiversity spread across its six different biomes. However, it has been suffering from the abusive exploitation of its resources, which poses a threat to the local fauna and flora. The Amazon and Atlantic Forest, for example, are birthplaces to rare and edible native species, such as bacaba (Oenocarpus bacaba, Arecaceae) and camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia, Myrtaceae), and cereja-do-Rio Grande (Eugenia involucrata, Myrtaceae) and grumixama (Eugenia brasiliensis, Myrtaceae), respectively. These plants produce fruits which are sources of macro and micronutrients, inclu

La seguridad del consumo de Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) debe abordarse con cautela debido a su densidad extrema de compuestos bioactivos. En relación con el embarazo y la lactancia, no existe evidencia clínica suficiente en humanos que garantice la seguridad absoluta de su consumo concentrado; por lo tanto, se recomienda evitar suplementos de alta dosis durante estas etapas para prevenir posibles efectos sobre el desarrollo fetal o neonatal, debido a la falta de estudios de toxicidad reproductiva específicos. Para niños menores de 12 años, la administración de extractos concentrados no es recomendable sin supervisión pediática, dado que su sistema metabólico está en desarrollo y la ingesta masiva de ácido ascórbico y otros polifenoles podría alterar el equilibrio osmótico o la microbiota intestinal en formación. Respecto a las interacciones farmacológicas, el Camu camu presenta riesgos significativos: con la warfarina y otros anticoagulantes, su alto contenido de vitamina C y polifenoles podría alterar la coagulación sanguínea, incrementando el riesgo de hemorragias; con la metformina, su potencial efecto hipoglucemiante (reducción de glucosa en sangre) podría potenciar la acción del fármaco y causar hipoglucemia; y con antihipertensivos, su capacidad para modular la presión arterial podría sumar efectos hipotensores no deseados. No se ha establecido una dosis máxima segura estandarizada para consumo terapéutico en humanos, aunque estudios clínicos han utilizado dosis de 1.5g diarios en cápsulas [PMID 39168095]. Los efectos secundarios reportados, principalmente en estudios de alta concentración, incluyen malestar gastrointestinal, náuseas o diarrea debido a la acidez y la carga osmótica de los azúcares y ácidos.
