The juçara palm tree produces a small spherical and black-purple fruit similar to açaí. It is rich in phenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins. A clinical trial evaluated the absorption and excretion of the main bioactive compounds in urine and the antioxidant capacity in serum and erythrocytes of 10 healthy subjects after juçara juice intake. Blood samples were collected before (0.0 h) and 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h after a single dose (400 mL) of juçara juice, while urine was collected at baseline and 0-3 and 3-6 h after juice intake. Seven phenolic acids and conjugated phenolic acids were identified in urine deriving from the degradation of anthocyanins: protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, vanillic acid glucuronide, hippuric acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, hydroxyphenylacetic acid, and ferulic acid derivative. In addition, kaempferol glucuronide was also found in urine as a metabolite of the parent compound in juçara juice. Juçara juice caused a decrease in the total oxidant status of serum after 0.5 h in comparison to baseline values ( < 0.05) and increased the phenolic acid metabolites excretion. This study shows the relationship between the production of metabolites of juçara juice and the total antioxidant status in human serum, indicating evidence of its antioxidant capacity.
雅红棕榈树结出的果实小而呈球形,颜色为深紫色到黑色,类似于黑果腺肋花楸。其富含酚类化合物,尤其是花色苷。一项临床试验评估了 10 位健康受试者在饮用雅红棕榈汁后尿液中主要生物活性化合物的吸收和排泄情况,以及血清和红细胞中的抗氧化能力。在单次剂量(400 毫升)雅红棕榈汁摄入前(0.0 小时)和 0.5 小时、1 小时、2 小时和 4 小时采集血样,而在摄入果汁前和摄入后 0-3 小时和 3-6 小时采集尿液。在尿液中鉴定出了源自花色苷降解的 7 种酚酸和结合酚酸:原儿茶酸、香草酸、香草酸葡萄糖醛酸、马尿酸、羟基苯甲酸、对羟基苯乙酸和阿魏酸衍生物。此外,尿液中还发现了作为雅红棕榈汁母体化合物代谢物的山柰酚葡萄糖醛酸。与基线值相比,雅红棕榈汁在摄入后 0.5 小时使血清总氧化剂状态降低(<0.05),并增加了酚酸代谢物的排泄。这项研究表明了雅红棕榈汁代谢产物的产生与人体血清总抗氧化状态之间的关系,表明了其抗氧化能力的证据。
