| Abstract | |
Pacova (Renealmia petasites Gagnep.) is a Brazilian native plant, usually cultivated in south regions of the country. Pacova was previously reported concerning their possible health benefits, mostly from folk medicine. However, only few works relates the health benefits with the composition of the fruit parts. In this context, this work aimed to bring, for the first time in literature, the chemical characterization in respect to lipid and terpene composition of R. petasites oilseed, performed by three different extraction methods (supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO2, Soxhlet with petroleum ether (SOX), and maceration with hexane (MAC)). SFE was most selective for MUFAs, PUFAs, sesqui- and diterpenes. The main terpene identified in all extracts was 2-carene. The extracts presented poor AChE inhibition, and SOX presented potential inhibitory effect against lipoxygenase activity. Overall, R. petasites oilseed is a natural source of terpenes and their potential health benefits are highly encouraged to be investigated. (AU) | |
