- Summary:
- Jaboticaba Berry (Plinia spp.), a native fruit from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, has been associated with several benefits for the prevention or therapy of chronic diseases due to its promising set-up of antioxidants and nutrients. Jaboticaba shows a distinguished amount of bioactive compounds when compared to other popular berries, which instigates great interest in pharmaceutical and food usage. The many parts of the berry, but especially the seed and peel by-products, are rich in dietary fibers and phenolic compounds and therefore have been able to counteract the negative implications of obesity, diabetes, inflammation, hepatic complications, and cancers, as shown by experimental studies. The development of new products and alternative therapies calls for the understanding of jaboticaba’s history, occurrence, morphology, nutritional and chemical composition, and industrial usage potential, reunited in this book. Well-founded and cutting-edge Jaboticaba berry: A Brazilian superfruit aims to instigate and inspire researchers, health and academic professionals, food and pharmaceutical scientists, educators, students, and all of those interested in natural products, herbal medicine, innovative alternative therapies, and sustainable use of by-products.
