Brazil has one of the greatest biodiversities in the world, with emphasis on the fruit family Myrtaceae, to which the native fruits guabijú ( (O.Berg) D.Legrand), guabiroba ( (Mart.) O.Berg), and araçá ( Sabine) belong. These fruits are promising sources of phenolic compounds, mainly phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins, with high antioxidant capacity and potential health benefits. This integrative review aimed to gather and analyze data on the phenolic composition of these fruits, as well as the analytical methods used for their extraction and characterization. The reviewed literature reveals that there is still a lack of in-depth studies, although some studies have already characterized the phenolic compounds in different parts of the fruits. The efficient extraction of phenolics, especially bound ones, requires techniques such as acid or alkaline hydrolysis. For their identification and quantification, the use of liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) with mass analyzers such as triple quadrupole (QqQ) and quadrupole-time-of-flight (QToF), stands out. Knowledge of these fruits contributes to the development of functional ingredients and the conservation and appreciation of Brazilian biodiversity, thereby reinforcing the importance of expanding research on these fruits and exploring potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
巴西拥有世界上最丰富的生物多样性之一，尤其以桃金娘科水果为重点，本土水果瓜比朱（(O.伯格) D.勒格朗德）、瓜比罗巴（(马特.) O.伯格）和阿拉卡（萨宾）都属于该科。这些水果是酚类化合物的理想来源，主要包括酚酸、黄酮类化合物和单宁，具有高抗氧化能力和潜在的健康益处。本综合综述旨在收集和分析有关这些水果酚类成分的数据，以及用于其提取和表征的分析方法。综述文献表明，尽管一些研究已经对水果不同部位的酚类化合物进行了表征，但仍缺乏深入研究。酚类物质，尤其是结合态酚类物质的有效提取需要酸或碱水解等技术。对于它们的鉴定和定量，使用液相色谱（LC）与质谱（MS）联用，配备三重四极杆（QqQ）和四极杆-飞行时间（QToF）等质量分析器的方法较为突出。对这些水果的了解有助于开发功能性成分以及保护和欣赏巴西的生物多样性，从而凸显了扩大对这些水果的研究并探索其在食品、制药和化妆品行业潜在应用的重要性。
