The Benefits of Jaboticaba-Based Interventions on Health
摘要
This chapter presents and analyzes existing studies that have explored the use of jaboticaba for promoting health. It provides an overview of jaboticaba-based products such as peel, seed, pulp, juice, and tea available for consumption. The chapter includes details on their composition, dosage, intervention periods, study designs, and primary results from in vitro experiments, animal studies, and investigations involving healthy individuals. Jaboticaba and its derivatives leverage the potential benefits of natural compounds, notably anthocyanins, ellagic acid derivatives, and dietary fibers, to support overall health, with promising implications for functional or therapeutic foods. Further research is warranted to integrate current findings from in vitro, animal, and human clinical studies into comprehensive strategies for promoting health, preventing disease, and facilitating treatment.
