The pursuit of an improved quality of life is a major trend in the food market. This is driving the reformulation of the industry's product portfolio, with the aim of providing nourishment while also contributing to beneficial health metabolic processes. In this context, the use of local biodiversity and the recovery of the traditional knowledge associated with the consumption of vegetables that grow spontaneously in nature emerge as more sustainable and nutritionally adequate concepts. The Amazon region is known for its abundant biodiversity, housing numerous unconventional food plants whose nutritional and biological properties remain unknown due to a lack of research. Among the different species are , , , , , and . These species contain bioactive compounds such as apigenin, syringic acid, spilanthol, and lutein, which provide various health benefits. There are few reports on the biological effects, nutritional composition, bioactive compounds, and market prospects for these species. Therefore, this review provides an overview of their nutritional contribution, bioactive compounds, health benefits, and current market, as well as the use of new technologies that can contribute to the development of functional products/ingredients derived from them.
追求更高的生活质量是食品市场的一个主要趋势。这推动了该行业产品组合的重新配方，旨在提供营养的同时，也有助于有益健康的代谢过程。在这种背景下，利用当地生物多样性以及恢复与食用自然生长的蔬菜相关的传统知识，成为更具可持续性且营养充足的理念。亚马逊地区以其丰富的生物多样性而闻名，拥有众多非传统食用植物，由于缺乏研究，其营养和生物学特性仍不为人知。在不同物种中有 、 、 、 、 以及 。这些物种含有芹菜素、丁香酸、毛叶山柑子醇和叶黄素等生物活性化合物，具有多种健康益处。关于这些物种的生物学效应、营养成分、生物活性化合物和市场前景的报道很少。因此，本综述概述了它们的营养贡献、生物活性化合物、健康益处和当前市场，以及有助于开发源自它们的功能性产品/成分的新技术的应用。
