Abstract
BACKGROUND Psidium guajava (guava) is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions and adapted to various environmental conditions. Guava is an important economic fruit widely used as food and folk medicine. It contains flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, triterpenoids, reducing sugars, essential oils, carotenoids, polyphenols, etc. The presence of triterpenoid acids such as guavacoumaric, ursolic, jacoumaric, guajavanoic, guavenoic, and Asiatic acids helps to develop novel drugs against various diseases. It is used traditionally for medicinal purposes, mainly for antioxidant, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antidiabetic, anticancer, antiallergy, anti-inflammatory, and hepato-protective properties. OBJECTIVE The systematic literature study aims to summarize its botanical description, phytochemicals, pharmacological activities, and clinical trials. This review focuses on the plant's chemical composition and scientific approaches to human welfare. METHODS A systematic literature search was done on Psidium guajava through previous literature and online databases such as Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science Direct, etc., to explain its ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological applications. RESULTS Previous literature studies of Psidium guajava suggest it can serve as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects. Successful clinical trials performed on the plant extracts against infantile rotaviral enteritis and infectious gastroenteritis showed future directions to work with the plant for clinical applications. CONCLUSION In this review, an attempt is made to show all literature studied, especially in phytochemistry, pharmacology, clinical trials and uses as traditional folk medicine around the world. The leaves have been used by folklore over the years to treat various ailments such as skin ulcers, diarrhoea, vaginal irritation, cough, conjunctivitis, etc. Further studies are required to explore more therapeutic remedies and to develop new medicines for future perspectives.

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) seed: A low-volume, high-value byproduct for human health and the food industry. Food Chem 2022; 386:132694.

Abstract
Guava processing industries generate peel and seeds as primary waste fractions. Guava seeds obtained after fruit processing possess untapped potential in the field of food science due to the presence of a diversity of nutritional and bioactive compounds. Along with offering a detailed understanding of the nutritional attributes of guava seeds, the present review comprehensively elaborates on the therapeutic activities of their bioactive compounds, their techno-functional properties, and their other edible and nonedible applications. The limited molecular and biochemical mechanistic studies outlining the antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, neuroprotective and antidiabetic activities of guava seeds available in the literature are also extensively discussed in this review. The use of guava seed constituents as food additives and food functional and structural modulators, primarily as fat reducers, emulsifiers, water and oil holding agents, is also conceptually explained. Additional human intervention and molecular mechanistic studies deciphering the effects of guava seeds on various diseases and human health are warranted.

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities in the agro-industrial residues of acerola (Malpighia emarginata L.), guava (Psidium guajava L.), genipap (Genipa americana L.) and umbu (Spondias tuberosa L.) fruits assisted by ultrasonic or shaker extraction. Food Res Int 2021; 147:110538. [PMID: 34399515 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110538] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the residue powders of Malpighia emarginata L., Psidium guajava L., Genipa americana L. and Spondias tuberosa L. regarding their total phenolic compounds contents, antioxidant activity (ABTS, DPPH and FRAP), soluble sugars, carotenoids, organic acids by HPLC-DAD/RID and individual phenolic compounds by the UPLC-QDa-MS system. The genipap residue had a high content of soluble sugars (422.72 ± 19.15 mg.g-1 DW), with a higher content of sucrose (170.83 ± 10.89 mg.g-1 DW). Nystose was found in the residues of guava (6.59 ± 0.56 mg.g-1 DW) and umbu (65.61 ± 2.31 mg.g-1 DW). The residues of acerola and umbu showed contents of β-carotene of 5.84 ± 0.01 mg.g-1 DW and 0.10 ± 0.05 mg.g-1 DW, respectively while high concentration (1116.00 ± 2.00 mg.100 g-1 DW) of tartaric acid was found in acerola residue and quinic acid (6340 ± 104.00 mg.100 g-1 DW) in umbu residue. Acetone (80%) and ultrasonic extraction were the best conditions for the residues of acerola, guava and genipap, however, for the umbu residue, extraction with shaker showed better results. The acerola and umbu residues showed higher yields of total phenolics, the values being 378.69-444.05 mg GAE.100 g-1 DW and 326.14-404.36 mg GAE.100 g-1 DW, respectively, as well as antioxidant activity. Naringenin was the individual phenolic compound with the highest concentration in the residue of acerola and genipap, vanillin in guava and rutin in umbu. Thus, residues powders from acerola, guava, genipap and umbu constitute potential sources of bioactive compounds, which could be used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
Plant seeds have been found to contain bioactive compounds that have potential nutraceutical benefits. Guava seeds (Psidium guajava) are by-products in the beverage and juice industry; however, they can be utilized for a variety of commercial purposes. This study was designed to analyze the phytochemicals of the n-hexane extract of guava seed oil (GSO), to study its free-radical scavenging activity, and to monitor the changes in serum lipids and fatty acid profiles in rats that were fed GSO. The GSO was analyzed for phytochemicals using chromatographic methods. It was also tested for free-radical scavenging activity in hepatoma and neuroblastoma cells, and analyzed in terms of serum lipids and fatty acids. GSO was found to contain phenolic compounds (e.g., chlorogenic acid and its derivatives) and phytosterols (e.g., stimasterol, β-sitosterol and campesterol), and exerted radical-scavenging activity in cell cultures in a concentration-dependent manner. Long-term consumption of GSO did not increase cholesterol and triglyceride levels in rat serum, but it tended to decrease serum fatty acid levels in a concentration-dependent manner. This is the first study to report on the lipid, phytosterol and phenolic compositions, antioxidant activity, and the hepato- and neuro-protection of hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress levels in the GSO extract.
