Determination of sugars present in A. crassiflora and A. cacans
Introduction:
The interest in knowing a composition of the plants occurs, for these are possible source of metabolites with pharmacological interest in plants. Native species of the cerrado such as the marolo (Annona crassiflora) and araticum-cagão (Annona cacans) are then well known, and may have potential in different therapies. The present study aimed to elucidate a composition such as total sugars from A. crassiflora and A. cacans pulp.
Material and methods:
The fruits of A. crassiflora and A. were collected in the vicinity of the Forestry Institute of the State of São Paulo, located in the city of Assis / SP (latitude: 22º39 '42''S, longitude: 50º24'44''W , altitude: 546 m). The hydromethanolic extract (30:70) was sent in addition to the liquid / liquid leakage with Ethyl Acetate (1: 1) for 3x, using Ethyl Acetate extract. The extracts were analyzed by the GC 3800 Varian Gas Chromatograph. Conditions: Column Rtx-5MS 30m x 0.25mm x 0.25mm. Injector: 290 ° C; Detector: 290 ° C. Detector FID. Drag gas: it. Flow 1.0mL / min. Gradient: 100 ° C to 320 ° C; 3 ° C / min., Divide 1-50.
Results:
In A. cacans, 23 compounds were identified: 1.Deoxyribose, 2.Threitol, 3.Pentitol, 4.Lyxose, 5.Psicose, 6.Xylitol, 7.Rhamnose, 8.Fucitol, 9.Psicofuranose, 10.Arabinose, 11 .Galactose, 12.Turanose, 13.Fructose, 14.Gluose, 15.Talosis, 16.Deoxyhexose, 17.Sorbitol, 18.Manose, 19.Allose, 20.Cellobiose, 21. Maltose, 22.Sucrose and 23.Lactose and A. crassiflora, 10: 1.Arabitol, 2.Gluose, 3.Sorbose, 4.Psicose, 5.Fruose, 6.Ribose, 7.Tagatosis, 8.Thereose, 9.Galactose and 10.Talopyranose.
Conclusion:
As pulps were characterized as to their sugar composition, leading to the possibility of further studies from the elucidation
