2014Co-Authors: Jeferson Luiz, Ronald Ochoa, Ezequiel Da Glória De Deus, Carvalho Mineiro, Maria Do Socorro, Miranda De Sousa, Manoel, Guedes Corrêa, Gondim Junior, Ricardo AdaimeAbstract:Spondias mombin L. is a perennial fruit tree, dispersed across tropical regions of the Americas, Africa and Asia. In Brazil it is found mainly in the northern and northeastern states, where its fruit, the hog plum, is known as tapereba, caja-mirim or caja. The hog plum is used in the preparation of fruit pulps, ice creams, nectars, jams, and juices (Sacramento and Souza 2000). Few phytophagous mites have been reported on Spondias, namely: Diptilomiopus alagarmaliensis Mohanasundaram, Tegolophus spondiallus Mondal & Chakrabarti, Vasates Spondiasi Boczek & Chandrapatya and Diptilomiopus cythereae (Chandrapatya), respectively on the species Spondias mangifera Willd., Spondias bipinnata Airy-Shaw & Forman, and Spondias cytherea Sonn. (Acari: Eriophyoidea) (de Lillo and Amrine 2006). Among the

Collecting, ex situ conservation and characterization of “cajá-umbu” (Spondias mombin×Spondias tuberosa) germplasm in Pernambuco State, Brazil
Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2004Co-Authors: Josué Francisco Da Silva Junior, João Emmanoel Fernandes Bezerra, Ildo Eliezer Lederman, Marta Assunção Alves, Manuel Luiz De Melo NetoAbstract:“Cajá-umbu” ( Spondias mombin × Spondias tuberosa ) is a native tropical Brazilian fruit tree with a great agro industrial potential. However the existing in situ and ex situ germplasm of this species is extremely restricted and vulnerable. This work aimed to collect, maintain characterize and evaluate 36 accesses of “Cajá-umbu” Germplasm Collection owned by Empresa Pernambucana de Pesquisa Agropecuária (IPA) located in the Northern Coastal Rain Forest region of the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Plant growth, yield and fruit quality descriptors were evaluated, and data have shown variations on plant height, canopy and stem diameters, production and fruit weight. “Cajá-umbu” had shown good adaptation to both climate and soil conditions of Northern Coastal Rain Forest region, in Pernambuco, with some genotypes such, as IPA-8.3, IPA-6.2, IPA-8.2, IPA-1.3 and IPA-5.3 showing outstanding yield characteristics.

Isolation of three compounds from the leaves of Spondias mombin
Nigerian Journal of Natural Products and Medicine, 2015Co-Authors: A. O. Ayoka, Ao Adeloye, Aj Aladesanmi, Otas E UkponmwanAbstract:Spondias mombin L. (Anacardiaceae) had been implicated for a lot of biological activities with no attempt to isolate the active principle(s). This study isolated three compounds from the leaves of ethanol extract of S. mombin using chromatographic techniques, and they were characterized using information obtained from physical and spectral data as well as reports from the literature, thus, compound 1, coumaroyl; compound 2, quercetin and compound 3, gallic acid. These three compounds have been reported to possess many biological properties, hence, provides a rationale for the potency of Spondias mombin extracts against various disease states.

Medicinal and economic value of Spondias mombin
African Journal of Biomedical Research, 2010Co-Authors: A. O. Ayoka, Rufus O. Akomolafe, Olumide S. Akinsomisoye, Otas E UkponmwanAbstract:This article reviewed the folk medical value of Spondias mombin with the correlated research findings on the uses of Spondias mombin. Most of the folk uses had been scientifically proven in most of the regions where those beliefs are based. The plant was described with habitat, the local uses including the uses of its parts mentioned. We reviewed the ethnomedicinal uses, the biological activities and the phytochemistry of Spondias mombin. (Afr. J. Biomed.

sedative antiepileptic and antipsychotic effects of Spondias mombin l anacardiaceae in mice and rats
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2006Co-Authors: A. O. Ayoka, Rufus O. Akomolafe, E O Iwalewa, Moses A Akanmu, Otas E UkponmwanAbstract:Abstract In this study, we evaluated the effects of air-dried Spondias mombin leaves extracted with aqueous, methanol and ethanol solvents on hexobarbital-induced sleeping time and novelty-induced rearing (NIR) behaviours in mice and rats. We also studied the effect of the extracts on amphetamine- and apomorphine-induced stereotyped and picrotoxin-induced convulsive behaviour in rats. All residues from different extractions were dissolved in normal saline and administered intraperitoneally (i.p.). The methanolic and ethanolic extracts (12.5–100 mg/kg i.p.) prolonged the hexobarbital-induced sleeping time and reduced the NIR in both mice and rat in a dose-dependent manner. The aqueous extract prolonged the hexobarbital-induced sleeping time and reduced (NIR) at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg. The inhibitory effect of the extracts on NIR was not reversed by atropine, yohimbine, naltrexone and flumazenil. However, the extracts blocked the facilitating effect of flumazenil. This suggests that NIR inhibitory effects of extracts of Spondia mombin are not mediated via muscarinic, α2 adrenergic, and μ-opioid receptors, whereas, the extracts appear to facilitate GABAergic transmission. In addition the extracts blocked picrotoxin-induced convulsions. Phenolic compound(s) were present in the ethanolic and methanolic extracts, which exhibited anticonvulsant properties in the picrotoxin-induced convulsions model. The extracts decreased the amphetamine/apomorphine-induced stereotyped behaviour, which suggest that these extracts possess antidopaminergic activity. The effect of the extracts on hexobarbitone-induced sleeping time was blocked by flumazenil a GABAA antagonist, indicating that the extracts contain GABAA agonists. These results suggest that the leaves extracts of Spondias mombin possess sedative and antidopaminergic effects.

the association between chromaticity phenolics carotenoids and in vitro antioxidant activity of frozen fruit pulp in brazil an application of chemometrics
Journal of Food Science, 2014Co-Authors: Acacio Antonio Ferreira Zielinski, Suelen Avila, Gilvan Wosiacki, Alessandro Nogueira, Charles Windson Isidoro HaminiukAbstract:A total of 19 Brazilian frozen pulps from the following fruits: acai (Euterpe oleracea), blackberry (Rubus sp.), caja (Spondias mombin), cashew (Anacardium occidentale), cocoa (Theobroma cacao), coconut (Cocos nucifera), grape (Vitis sp.), graviola (Annona muricata), guava (Psidium guajava), papaya (Carica papaya), peach (Prunus persica), pineapple (Ananas comosus), pineapple and mint (A. comosus and Mentha spicata), red fruits (Rubus sp. and Fragaria sp.), seriguela (Spondias purpurea), strawberry (Fragaria sp.), tamarind (Tamarindus indica), umbu (Spondias tuberosa), and yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) were analyzed in terms of chromaticity, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and in vitro antioxidant activity using ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. Data were processed using principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Antioxidant capacity was measured by DPPH and FRAP assays, which showed significant (P < 0.01) correlation with total phenolic compounds (r = 0.88 and 0.70, respectively), total flavonoids (r = 0.63 and 0.81, respectively), and total monomeric anthocyanins (r = 0.59 and 0.73, respectively). PCA explained 74.82% of total variance of data, and the separation into 3 groups in a scatter plot was verified. Three clusters also suggested by HCA, corroborated with PCA, in which cluster 3 was formed by strawberry, red fruits, blackberry, acai, and grape pulps. This cluster showed the highest contents of total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activity. Practical Application Multivariate techniques as PCA and HCA are efficient and fast tools in order to distinguish the differences between samples.
