Mineral and centesimal contents, antioxidant activity and antimicrobial action of phenolic compounds from Eugenia Brasiliensis Lam. Pulp

Brazil has one of the largest biodiversity in the world. The genus Eugenia, one of the largest in the Myrtaceae family, comprises about 400 species, which are cultivated in all national territory. Ot stands out because of its economic potential associated to commercial exploration of its edible fruits, essential oil, wood and ornamental plants as well as pharmacological properties. On Brazilian folk medicine, peels and leaves from the species Eugenia brasiliensis Lamark has been used for treating arthritis and rheumatism (Queiroz et al., 2015). Moreover, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, anti-infective and anticancer activities from this specie have been studied (Colla et al., 2012; Onfante et al., 2016; Lazarini et al., 2018; Magina et al., 2009; Teixeira et al., 2017).
