Highlights
Brazil possesses one the richest biodiversity in the world, and Cerrado (Brazilian savannah), one the largest Brazilian biome, presents over 12.000 plant species (Silva et al, 2016), and more than 40% are native
Phytochemical study of the leaves of Eugenia dysenterica led to the identification of five pentacyclic triterpenes: urs-12-en-3β-ol (α-amyrin), olean-12-en-3β-ol (β-amyrin), neolup-12-en-3β-ol, gammacer-16-en-3β-ol and D-friedoolean-14-en-3β-ol
General Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis was carried out using aluminum-backed silica gel (60F254) plates (SigmaAldrich, L × W 20 cm × 20 cm). n-Hexane and ethyl acetate mixture was used as eluent, and the chromatograms were revealed by anisaldehyde– sulphuric acid reagent (5 %)
Summary
Brazil possesses one the richest biodiversity in the world, and Cerrado (Brazilian savannah), one the largest Brazilian biome, presents over 12.000 plant species (Silva et al, 2016), and more than 40% are native. Such characteristics make Cerrado one the most biodiverse savannah (Medeiros et al, 2015). One of them is Eugenia dysenterica (Mart.) DC, known as “cagaita” or “cagaiteira.” Cerrado inhabitants eat the E. dysenterica fruits, which are used by local food industry to prepare ice cream, desserts, jelly and others. A nutritional analysis showed that fruit pulp is rich in vitamins, folates, carotenoids (Cardoso et al, 2011), esters and other compounds (Silva et al, 2015)
