Development of a plant-based dessert using araticum pulp and chickpea extract: Physicochemical, microbiological, antioxidant, and sensory characterization. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0307640. [PMID: 39178191 PMCID: PMC11343372 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0307640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The demand for plant-based products has increased in recent years, due to several aspects related to health and environmental consciousness. This study aimed to produce and characterize a plant-based dairy alternative dessert based on araticum pulp and chickpea extract without added sugar and fat. Three formulations were prepared: Formulation 1 (F1): 20% araticum pulp + 80% chickpea extract; Formulation 2 (F2): 30% araticum pulp + 70% chickpea extract; and Formulation 3 (F3): 40% araticum pulp + 60% chickpea extract. All formulations' chemical composition, sensorial characteristics, viscosity, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and microbiological stability were analyzed during 28 days of storage at 4°C and a relative humidity of 23%. Energetic value ranged from 64 to 71 kcal/100g, and carbohydrate content from 9.68 to 11.06, protein from 3.38 to 3.04, lipids from 1.41 to 1.60, ashes from 0.53 to 0.59 and crude fiber from 0.86 to 1.34 g/100g among the formulations. The increase in the proportion of araticum pulp in the formulations reduced moisture content by 1.2 to 2.1% (F1: 84.2, F2: 83.2, and F3: 82.4), protein content by 3 to 9% (F1: 3.3, F2: 3.2, and F3: 3.0), and pH value by 5.8 to 10.7% (F1: 5.50, F2: 5.18, and F3: 4.91), and increased the TSS by 1.1 to 1.3-fold (F1: 8.36, F2: 8.98, and F3: 10.63 º Brix), total phenolics content by 1.5 to 2.0-fold (F1: 4,677, F2: 6,943, and F3: 10,112 gallic acid μmol/L) and antioxidant activity by 1.8 to 2.8-fold (F1: 1,974, F2: 3,664, and F3: 5.523). During the 28 days of storage at 4°C, the formulations F1 and F2 showed better stability of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity; however, the formulation F3 showed acceptable microbiological quality up to 28 days of storage, higher viscosity, 8 to 16-fold higher than the formulations F1 and F2, respectively (F1: 238.90, F2: 474.30, and F3:3,959.77 mPa.s), antioxidant capacity and better scores in sensory analysis. The present study showed that the plant-based dessert elaborated with araticum pulp and chickpea extract might be considered a potential dairy alternative product with high antioxidant activity, protein content, and a viscosity similar to yogurt; however, its sensory aspects need improvement.

Sousa LR, Oliveira AGS, Arantes A, Junqueira JGM, Alexandre GP, Severino VGP, Reis RM, Kim B, Ribeiro RIMA. Acetogenins-Rich Fractions of Annona coriacea Suppress Human Glioblastoma Viability and Migration by Regulating Necroptosis and MMP-2 Activity In Vitro. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28093809. [PMID: 37175219 PMCID: PMC10179884 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28093809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable primary brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Resection, radiation therapy, and temozolomide (TMZ) are insufficient to increase survival, making the treatment limited. Thus, the search for more effective and specific treatments is essential, making plants a promising source for elucidating new anti-glioblastoma compounds. Accordingly, this study investigated the effects of four fractions of hexane and ethyl acetate extract of Annona coriacea Mart., enriched with acetogenins, against GBM cell lines. All four fractions were selectively cytotoxic to GBM cells when compared to TMZ. Moreover, A. coriacea fractions delayed cell migration; reduced cytoplasmic projections, the metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) activity; and induced morphological changes characteristic of necroptosis, possibly correlated with the increase in receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 and 3 (RIP-1 and RIP-3), apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), and the non-activation of cleaved caspase 8. The present findings reinforce that fractions of A. coriacea Mart. should be considered for more studies focusing treatment of GBM.

Abstract
Cerrado has many compounds that have been used as biopesticides, herbicides, medicines, and others due to their highly toxic potential. Thus, this review aims to present information about the toxicity of Cerrado plants. For this purpose, a review was performed using PubMed, Science Direct, and Web Of Science databases. After applying exclusion criteria, 187 articles published in the last 20 years were selected and analyzed. Detailed information about the extract preparation, part of the plant used, dose/concentration tested, model system, and employed assay was provided for different toxic activities described in the literature, namely cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, insecticidal, antiparasitic, and molluscicidal activities. In addition, the steps to execute research on plant toxicity and the more common methods employed were discussed. This review synthesized and organized the available research on the toxic effects of Cerrado plants, which could contribute to the future design of new environmentally safe products.

Chem Biol Interact 2021; 336:109390. [PMID: 33484716 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2021.109390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Annona coriacea Mart., popularly known as "marolo", "araticum" and "araticum-liso" is a species distributed in Paraguay and Brazil, and easily found in Caatinga, Cerrado, and Pantanal biomes. The araticum has been used in folk medicine to treat stomatitis, neuralgia, rheumatism, headaches, furuncle, ulcers, and dermatitis. This systematic review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the ethnomedicinal use, phytochemistry, and pharmacological activity of A. coriacea. A search for scientific articles of electronic databases (Science Direct, PubMed, Lilacs, Scopus, Google Scholar, Scielo, and Web of Science) was performed identifying studies published until November 2020. All papers considering traditional medicinal uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological properties were included. Forty-six articles (n = 212 subjects) met the inclusion criteria set for this review. Of the 46 articles reviewed, 34 were focused on biological activity investigations, while 12 were limited to phytochemical studies. These studies showed the presence of a diversity of secondary metabolites such as acetogenins, sesquiterpenes, alkaloids, flavonoids, and diterpenes. To date, pharmacological tests have demonstrated significant biological activities of this plant, being the most promising anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, and insecticide activities. Additionally, the medicinal utilization of A. coriacea appears to be promising, supporting its possible uses for human health with antioxidant, anxiolytic, antiulcer, insecticide, and antiparasitic activities. Ultimately, comprehensive studies involving clinical trials are required to validate the existing traditional practices and their related health benefits scientifically.
