ABSTRACT
27
Large segments of the Brazilian population still suffer of malnutrition and diet-related
28
illnesses. In contrast, many fruits provided of native biodiversity is an underexploited
29
source of bioactive compounds and unknown to consumers. The phytochemical
30
composition of nine underexplored Brazilian fruits was determined. Carotenoids and
31
anthocyanins were identified and quantified by HPLC-PDA-MS/MS; and phenolic
32
compounds and iridoids were identified by FIA-ESI-IT-MS/MS, totaling the identification
33
of 84 compounds. In addition, the chemical structure and pathway mass fragmentation
34
of new iridoids from jenipapo (Genipa americana) and jatoba (Hymenae coubaril) are
35
proposed. The highest level of carotenoids was registered in pequi (Caryocar brasiliense)
36
(10,156.21μg/100g edible fraction), while the major total phenolic content was found in
37
Cambuci (Campomanesia coubaril), 221.70mg GAE/100g. Anthocyanins were quantified
38
in jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) 45.5mg/100 g and pitanga (Eugenia uniflora) 81.0mg/100
39
g. Our study illustrates the chemical biodiversity of underexplored fruits from Brazil,
40
supporting the identification of new compounds and encouraging the study of more
41
food matrices not yet investigated.

INTRODUCTION
57
Nations (FAO/ONU), about 50,000 species of edible plants are available worldwide;
58
however, 90% of the energy demands of humans are supplied by only 15 species,
59
especially rice, corn, and wheat.1 Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to 18% of all
60
plant biodiversity on the planet. Nevertheless, it still suffers from the effects of
61
malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies such as Fe and vitamin A, and, more recently,
62
obesity and chronic diseases. Data from the Brazilian National Survey on Demography
63
and Health of Children and Women2 pointed out that 17.4% of children under five years
64
old have vitamin A deficiency, and the highest prevalence rates were found in the
65
Southeast (21.6%) and Northeast (19%) regions of Brazil.2 Overweight (BMI 25 kg/m2)
66
and obesity (BMI 30 kg/m2) affected 56.7% and 18.9% of the Brazilian adult population
67
in 2016.3
According to estimates of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
68
In recent years, growing evidence has shown that consuming fruits and
69
vegetables reduces the risk of mortality from various diseases, especially cardiovascular
70
diseases and cancers. Several fruits from different Brazilian biomes are rich in bioactive
71
compounds, such as carotenoids and phenolic compounds.4,5 However, the Brazilian
72
Household Budget Survey (2008-2009) verified that the daily consumption of fruits and
73
vegetables is only 150 g/day, corresponding to the 177 g of Retinol Equivalent (RE)/day
74
because of the contribution of -carotene, α-carotene, and -cryptoxanthin6, and
75
representing only 22.1% of the recommended vitamin A intake,7 expressed in RE (26.4%
76
women, 18.9% men), or 11.1% if expressed in retinol activity equivalents. A similar result
77
was observed for the consumption of phenolic compounds (460 mg/day) derived mainly
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 4 of 55
78
from beverages (48.9%), especially coffee, since the average consumption of fruits is
79
only 43.2 mg/day.8
80
Besides the low consumption of fruits and vegetables compared to the
81
recommendation (400 g fruit + vegetable/day – excluding potatoes and starchy tubers),9
82
it is worth mentioning that the most consumed fruits in Brazil are banana, orange, and
83
apple. Fruits from the Brazilian biodiversity are poorly consumed, and the only exception
84
is açai (3.0 g/day). One of the reasons to explain this low consumption is the lack of
85
knowledge about the nutritional composition of native species and poor scientific
86
evidence of their health benefits. In addition, one must implement public policies that
87
can support the farming/forestry of these species, besides ensuring their acquisition and
88
consumption by specific population groups.10
89
One success case of the use of Brazilian native biodiversity as a social and
90
environmental agent of change occurs with jussara (Euterpe edulis Mart.). Several
91
studies identified and quantified its nutritional composition and bioactive
92
compounds4,11 and suggested it has high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
93
activities.12,13 Functional products were also developed using jussara pulp,14 and other
94
studies involving in vitro fermentation and the bioaccessibility of its bioactive
95
compounds were recently published.15–17 This case is an example of how create an
96
enabling environment for biodiversity to improve nutrition.
97
Moreover, other initiatives, such as Projeto Jussara (Jussara Project),18 are
98
needed to expand the species of Brazilian biodiversity that must be studied and receive
99
help from governments by public policies to stimulate productive chains. The
100
importance of biodiversity for food systems, biome preservation, rural development,
101
healthy agriculture, and promotion of access to adequate feeding for all the population

102
involves a holistic approach for sustainable development, and the first step to it is
103
improving the nutritional knowledge about unexplored specimens.19
104
In this context, this study aimed to characterize the phytochemical composition
105
of some underexplored tropical fruits from the Brazilian biodiversity, identifying and
106
quantifying their major bioactive compounds.
107 108
MATERIAL AND METHODS
109
Samples. Each fruit was harvested from three different geographic locations of
110
two Brazilian biomes: Atlantic Forest and Cerrado. These fruits were obtained in
111
Brazilian protected areas or produced in small family farms. The project was registered
112
(no. 50313) and the authorization for collection of the biological material was obtained
113
from the Biodiversity Authorization and Information System (SISBIO – Sistema de
114
Autorização e Informação em Biodiversidade) from the Chico Mendes Institute for
115
Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBIO – Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da
116
Biodiversidade). The collection, transport, and processing of the biological samples for
117
botanical identification of the species was performed according to Fidalgo & Bononi.20
118
The material was identified, and the vouchers were deposited and registered at the
119
Herbarium of Santa Cecília University (HUSC), in Santos, state of São Paulo (Brazil), which
120
has an international registration at the Index Herbariorum of the New York Botanical
121
Garden. Access to the photographic record of the collected material can be obtained at
122
www.splink.org.br using the voucher number shown in Table 1.
123
Each sample consisted of 3 to 10 kg of fruits, according to the processing yield to
124
obtain the edible fraction. All the fruits were sanitized with water to remove sediment
125
and possible contaminants. The extraction procedures were carried out only with the
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

126
edible parts of each fruit (Table 1), following the same pattern of ingestion from local
127
communities. The fruits were collected between July 2015 and July 2016. After the
128
removal of the inedible fraction, the samples were immediately lyophilized in a freeze-
129
drier and stored at -40 °C until analysis.
130
Analysis of carotenoids, anthocyanins, and other bioactive compounds.
131
Carotenoids were extracted with acetone from all lyophilized fruits (1 g), transferred to
132
petroleum ether/diethyl ether (2:1), and saponified with 10% methanolic KOH overnight
133
at room temperature in the dark. The solution was then washed until being alkali-free
134
and concentrated to dryness.5 The experimental conditions for separation,
135
identification, and quantification by HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS/MS (San Jose, CA, USA) were
136
the same as previously described.4,5
137
Carotenoids were individually quantified by HPLC-DAD using five-point analytical
138
curves of all-trans-lutein (1.0-50.0 μg/mL), all-trans-β-cryptoxanthin (1.0-60 μg/mL), all-
139
trans-β-carotene (1.0-50 μg/mL), and all-trans-lycopene (1.0-50 μg/mL). The limit of
140
detection (LOD) was calculated using the parameters of each standard curve: LOD = 3.3
141
× SD/S, where SD is the standard deviation of the response and S is the slope of the
142
curve. For all analytical curves of carotenoids, r2 = 0.99, the limit of detection was 0.1
143
μg/mL and the limit of quantification was 0.5 μg/mL. The carotenoid concentration was
144
expressed in μg/100 g edible fraction.
145
Anthocyanins were extracted from lyophilized pulp and peel (2 g) of pitanga and
146
jabuticaba fruits using 100 mL of 0.5% HCl in methanol. The slurry was filtered and
147
concentrated in a rotary evaporator (T < 38 oC) to yield the crude extract.4,21 The crude
148
extract was diluted in water containing 5% formic acid/methanol (85:15, v/v)

149
immediately before analysis by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS. The anthocyanin separation and
150
identification were conducted as previously described.4,22
151
The anthocyanins were quantified by HPLC-DAD using a five-point analytical
152
curve of cyanidin 3-glucoside (0.5-10.0 mg/mL), r2 = 0.998; the limit of detection was
153
0.05 mg/mL and the limit of quantification was 0.1 mg/mL. The concentration was
154
expressed in mg of cyanidin 3-glucoside/100 g of edible fraction.
155
Phenolic compounds and iridoids were extracted from all fruits using 2 g of
156
lyophilized pulp with 50 mL of methanol/water (8:2 v/v) by agitation with a magnetic
157
homogenizer (Tecnal, Piracicaba, Brazil) for 20 min. The slurry was filtered, the solids
158
were extracted with an additional 50 mL of methanol/water (8:2) two times more, and
159
the extract was concentrated in a rotary evaporator (T < 38 °C) until methanol
160
evaporation. The extract was used to determine the total phenolic compound content
161
by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, as previously reported.23 The same extract was characterized
162
using FIA-ESI-IT-MSn (Flow Injection Analysis - Electrospray - Ion Trap - Tandem Mass
163
Spectrometry) and dereplication strategies. Each extract was dissolved in
164
methanol/water (8:2 v/v) and infused in the electrospray ionization (ESI) source (direct
165
infusion). MS analyses were carried out in a Thermo Fischer Scientific (San Jose, CA, USA)
166
LTQ XL mass spectrometer equipped with an ESI source, linear ion trap analyzer, and
167
Xcalibur software for data processing. The capillary voltage was set at -35 V, the spray
168
voltage at 5 kV, and the tube lens at −200 V. The capillary temperature was 280 °C. Data
169
were acquired in MS1 and MSn scanning modes using a syringe pump (flow rate 20
170
μL/min). For the IT-MSn experiments, the m/z range of 100-2000 Da was monitored
171
using the collision-induced dissociation technique, helium gas, isolation width of m/z 1.5

172
and activation time of 30 ms. For each ion it was applied a normalized collision energy
173
of 20% up to 50% depending on the fragmentation pattern observed.
174 175
All the compounds were proposed based on their fragmentation patterns compared to the available literature data.
176
Statistical analysis. All assays were performed in triplicate for each sample and
177
the results expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD); the differences were significant
178
at p < 0.05. The statistical analysis was performed using Microcal Origin 8.0.
179
Comparisons by similarity index. Carotenoids and methanolic extracts (phenolic
180
compounds and iridoids) were subjected to similarity analysis. For carotenoid extracts,
181
retention time and mass/charge ratio (m/z) were the criteria for distinction. For
182
methanolic extracts, the m/z was the criterion for distinguishing each molecule detected
183
in the analyses. A matrix of presence (1) and absence (0) of chemical markers was
184
constructed (for each extract) for clustering data and is shown in the supplementary
185
material. The data in this matrix were subjected to similarity analysis conducted by
186
Jaccard similarity coefficient, which describes how similar the fruits are in terms of
187
shared chemical compounds.24

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
190
Nine Brazilian tropical fruits from five different botanical families were selected
191
to be evaluated in this study. Table 1 shows all fruits analyzed and their respective
192
botanical identifications and geographical locations.
193
Carotenoid composition. Table 2 shows the characteristics of the carotenoids
194
separated from all the fruits investigated. They were identified by applying the following
195
mutual data: elution order on C30 column, chromatography with authentic standards,

196
UV-visible spectrum (λmax, spectral fine structure, cis peak intensity), and mass
197
spectrum, compared with data obtained in the literature. A comprehensive description
198
of carotenoid identification was previously described by our research group.4,5 Table 2
199
shows the characteristics of 23 peaks found in the studied fruits; from them, only one
200
was not identified. Table 3 shows the total and major carotenoid content in each fruit.
201
The minor carotenoids identified and quantified and all carotenoid chromatograms are
202
presented in the Supporting Information (Table 1S and 2S; Figure 1S and 2S).
203
Most of the evaluated fruits presented (all-E)-lutein and (all-E)-β-carotene as
204
major carotenoids, except pequi and pitanga fruits. Pequi showed an unidentified peak
205
(peak 3) and all-trans-zeaxanthin as main carotenoid components; and in pitanga (all-E)-
206
β-cryptoxanthin and (all-E)-lycopene were quantified as the major carotenoids.
207
According to Table 3, pequi show the highest levels of carotenoids (10156.21 ± 453
208
µg/100 g edible portion) considering all the studied fruits. Carotenoids were not
209
detected in jenipapo.
210
Samples collected from different locations showed statistical differences in the
211
carotenoid composition for all fruits studied in this research. These differences could be
212
associated to several parameters, such as the differences between biomes (Atlantic
213
Forest and Cerrado), volume of rainfall, seasoning conditions, edaphic characteristics,
214
among others. In fact, our results showed that differences in carotenoid contents mainly
215
occur because of the geographic location of the plantation. Pitanga from EUB presented
216
between 3.7 and 4.5 more (all-E)-β-cryptoxanthin content than those from samples from
217
EUC and EUA, respectively. Similar results for pitanga fruits collected in different regions
218
of Brazil were already reported. Regarding (all-E)-lycopene, 7300 µg/100 g were found
219
in fruits collected in the Northeast region, 7110 µg/100 g in those from the Southeast
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

220
and 1400 µg/100 g in those from the South; for (all-E)-β-cryptoxanthin, 4700 µg/100 g
221
were found in fruits from the Northeast, 1180 µg/100 g in those from the Southeast and
222
1280 µg/100 g in fruits from the South.25,26
223
Although cagaita also belongs to the genus Eugenia, the major carotenoids of E.
224
dysenterica fruits are different from those of E. uniflora (pitanga). The major carotenoids
225
of cagaita fruits are (all-E)-lutein and (all-E)-β-carotene, which showed different
226
amounts in the three evaluated locations (EDA, EDB, and EDC). Ribeiro et al.27 evaluated
227
cagaita fruits from the Midwest region of Brazil and found that the mean value of total
228
carotenoids was 822 µg/100 g, around 2.6 times greater than the highest result in our
229
study, with (all-E)-lutein as major carotenoid (181 µg/100 g). Cardoso et al.28 reported
230
770 µg/100 g of total carotenoids for cagaita fruits (Southeast region), a value around
231
2.4 times greater than the highest result in our study (319.30 µg/100 g – EDB fruits). In
232
addition, the fruits evaluated by Cardoso et al.28 had α-carotene (310 µg/100 g), β-
233
carotene (390 µg/100 g), and lycopene (60 µg/100 g) as major carotenoids, showing that
234
fruits from different localities can produce different types of carotenoids.
235
Araçá fruits from Southeast Brazil (São Paulo state) were already evaluated by
236
our research group,4 with 77.7 µg/100 g of total carotenoids, with (all-E)-β-
237
cryptoxanthin (26.4 µg/100 g) as the major carotenoid, followed by (all-E)-β-carotene
238
(20 µg/100 g). In the present study, (all-E)-β-carotene was detected as major carotenoid,
239
followed by (all-E)-lutein, which was detected as the third major carotenoid by da Silva
240
et al.4
241
Pereira et al.29 reported 41.22 µg/100 g of total carotenoids in araçá fruits grown
242
in Southern Brazil (Brazilian region with lower temperatures), with (all-E)-lutein being
243
the major carotenoid (26.38 µg/100 g). Although our fruits (from the three localities)
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
10
Page 11 of 55
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
244
had (all-E)-lutein as major carotenoid, our lower result is around 2.5 times greater than
245
that previously reported. We cannot claim this with certainty, but fruits from warmer
246
locations may show higher levels of carotenoids than fruits from colder sites.26
247
Cambuci fruits are known for being rich in phenolic compounds, and that is why
248
few studies approach their carotenoid composition. The total carotenoid content of the
249
cambuci was the lowest among all the fruits evaluated (43.87 – 83.23 μg/100g), except
250
for jenipapo, where the presence of carotenoids was not detected. Pereira et al.29
251
reported a total of carotenoids of 305.53 µg/100 g in C. xanthocarpa, and cryptoxanthin
252
(121.08 µg/100 g) and lutein (81.91 µg/100 g) were the major ones.
253
Data on carotenoid content in berries are scarce in the literature. Probably, their
254
reddish-purplish color can lead to the carotenoid color to be hidden. Although Inada et
255
al.30 reported that the only carotenoid that could be identified and quantified in
256
jabuticaba fruits (Myrciaria jaboticaba) was (all-E)-β-carotene (873 µg/100 g), our study
257
presented different results, with (all-E)-lutein as the major carotenoid. Zanatta &
258
Mercadante31 evaluated the fruit Myrciaria duvia (a berry called camu-camu) from two
259
different localities: one from a Cerrado region (Southeast Brazil – 429 m at sea level)
260
with a total carotenoid content of 1,095.3 µg/100 g, which represents around three
261
times more than the values found for the same fruit from the coastal region (Atlantic
262
Forest). Nevertheless, our results for jabuticaba (PCA, PCB, and PCC) showed a higher
263
carotenoid content compared to some world-marketed berries, such as strawberries
264
(Fragaria vesca) and red currant (Ribes rubrum), which are not considered rich sources
265
of carotenoids.32
266
Mangaba is a typical fruit from the Brazilian Northeast region (region with the
267
highest temperatures) and inhabits the ecosystems of Cerrado, Caatinga, and Savanna
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
11
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 12 of 55
268
(ecosystems with low rainfall).33 Rufino et al.34 reported a total carotenoid content of
269
300 µg/100 g for mangaba fruits from Caatinga ecosystems, representing about three
270
times more than that reported by Cardoso et al.35 (110 µg/100 g), who evaluated fruits
271
from Cerrado. To our knowledge, our study is the first to report the profile of
272
carotenoids of mangaba fruits, which have (all-E)-lutein and (all-E)-β-carotene as major
273
carotenoids. Our results show that mangaba fruits from Atlantic Forest (HSC – Southeast
274
Brazil) have higher total carotenoid content compared to mangaba fruits from Cerrado
275
(HSA and HSB). This fact suggests that although carotenoids are known for showing
276
higher levels in regions of high temperatures and luminosity, other factors may
277
positively contribute to the increase. Yuan et al.36 reported that horticultural crops could
278
generate accumulate diverse levels and varieties of carotenoids even within the same
279
species.
280
Jatobá, pitanga and pequi are the fruits with the highest total carotenoid
281
contents in this study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first research to
282
accurately report the chromatographic profile of jatobá, which has (all-E)-lutein and (all-
283
E)-β-carotene as major carotenoids. Cardoso et al.37 evaluated H. stigonocarpa fruits
284
from Cerrado, also popularly known as jatobá, and reported a total of 400 µg/100 g,
285
similar to the value found in our study (HCC: 345.21 µg/100 g). Pequi CBB fruits have
286
about two times more carotenoids than EUB (second best result of our study). Ribeiro
287
et al.27evaluated pequi fruits from five different Brazilian regions, with a range from
288
3,700.08 to 18,700.00 µg/100 g of total carotenoids, suggesting that carotenoid content
289
is affected by the native region of the pequi fruit.
290
The similarity index comparison from carotenoid identified of all fruits evaluated
291
shared 24% similarity (Figure 1). The cluster was divided into two main groups. The first
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
12
Page 13 of 55

292
group shares 38% of the carotenoids and is composed by mangaba (HSA, HSB, and HSC)
293
and cagaita (EDA and EDB). These fruits share the carotenoids (15Z)-lutein, (9Z)-
294
violaxanthin, and 5,6-epoxy-β-carotene, which were not detected in the other fruits. The
295
second group shares 27.5% similarity and is composed by pitanga (EUA, EUB, and EUC),
296
jatobá (HCA, HCB, and HCC), araçá (AAU, AAB, and AAC), pequi (CBA, CBB, and CBC),
297
jabuticaba (PCA, PCB, and PCC), cambuci (CPA, CPB, and CPC), and cagaita (EDC). Into
298
this group, all fruits presented carotene derivatives, but with some subdivisions (Figure
299
1). The first one is composed by pitanga, because this was the only fruit that showed
300
rubixanthin and lycopene derivatives, and therefore it distances itself from the other
301
fruits. There is a subgroup with 60% similarity between jatobá and araçá, because they
302
are the only ones that share the presence of (9Z)-lutein and absence of (all-E)-
303
zeaxanthin. Pequi presented one unidentified carotenoid, (all-E)-neoxanthin, and (9Z)-
304
violaxanthin, which causes a subgrouping of this fruit into the second group. Cagaita
305
(EDC) shares more carotenoids (presence and absence) with cambuci than with same-
306
species fruits from other localities (EDA/EDB). All fruits presented (all-E)-lutein and (all-
307
E)-β-carotene (except mangaba).
308
Anthocyanin composition. Anthocyanins were only detected in jabuticaba and
309
pitanga fruits, both from the Myrtaceae family. The anthocyanins found in both species
310
were cyanidin 3-rutinoside and cyanidin 3-glucoside. The chromatographic profile of
311
both fruits was very similar (Supporting information – Figure 3S); the anthocyanin
312
contents were expressed in terms of cyanidin 3-glucoside and are presented in the
313
supplementary material (Table 3S). The anthocyanin quantities ranged from 23.5 ± 1.7
314
to 45.5 ± 2.6 mg/100 g for jabuticaba and from 22.9 ± 0.5 to 81.0 ± 5.3 mg/100 g for

315
pitanga. As also occurred for the carotenoid composition data, the anthocyanin content
316
was statistically different considering the place of origin of the fruit.
317
Pitanga and jabuticaba are considered sources of anthocyanins, as well as
318
Dovyalis abyssinica (41.96 mg/100 g), Cyphomandra betacea (8.48 mg/100 g),5
319
Malpighia emarginata (6.5-8.4 mg/100 g),38 and Euterpe edulis (91.52-236.19 mg C3G
320
equivalent/100 g dry matter).39 Recently, the importance of anthocyanins has been
321
threatened, since they show low bioavailability. Despite the beneficial properties of
322
anthocyanins, their effectiveness at preventing or treating a range of diseases depends
323
on their bioavailability.17 However, it is known that these pigments are bioconverted
324
into phenolic acids because of the action of intestinal microorganisms, and therefore
325
some authors attribute prebiotic action to them.17
326
Phenolic compounds. The identification of these compounds was based on the
327
main molecular ions and on some of the useful observed fragmentations. The
328
compounds listed in Table 4 were restricted to those in which [M-H]− ions were clearly
329
detected. Among the observed ions, some were too small to allow structural analyses.
330
Among the secondary metabolites detected in extracts, we identified ellagitannins,
331
flavonoids (quercetin, myricetin, apigenin, and luteolin derivatives), gallic and quinic
332
acids. All analyses were conducted in negative ion ionization mode, which provided a
333
very sensitive and selective method, being an excellent way to identify the compounds
334
present in the extracts. The compounds were organized from highest to lowest m/z
335
(Table 4).
336
Ellagitannin derivatives. Ellagitannins are the compounds with the highest m/z
337
detected in this study (compounds 1-7, 9, 10, and 19). They were detected only in fruits
338
from the Myrtaceae family (cambuci, pitanga, mangaba, jabuticaba, and araçá).

Ellagitannins are a hydrolyzable tannin group, which has a typical fragmentation of 152
340
Da [M-H-152]−, corresponding to the loss of a galloyl moiety and/or a typical
341
fragmentation
342
hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) groups. The ions at m/z 935 and m/z 785 were chosen to
343
represent the fragmentation model of the ellagitannin class. The MS2 fragmentation of
344
the deprotonated molecule [M-H]- at m/z 935 produced fragments at m/z 917 [M-H-
345
18]−, which represents a neutral loss of water, along with the product ions at m/z 783
346
[M-H-152]− and at m/z 633 [M-H-302]−. The MS³, MS4, MS5, and MS6 fragmentations
347
were performed in order to confirm the identification of this compound (Table 4),
348
proposed as di-HHDP-galloyl hexoside (Figure 2A). The MS² spectrum of the precursor
349
ion at m/z 785 also presented ellagitannin fragmentation. The MS2 spectrum generated
350
the product ions at m/z 767 [M-H-18]−, m/z 633 [M-H-152]−, m/z 419 [M-H-152-152-18-
351

353
The occurrence of ellagitannin derivatives is common in fruits from the
354
Combretaceae, Lythraceae, Melastomataceae, Punicaceae, and Trapaceae families.40 In
355
the Myrtaceae family, the target of our study, we could detect 12 ellagitannin
356
derivatives by mass spectrometry analysis. The isolation and identification of
357
compounds with high molecular weight require the use of complex steps of separation
358
and purification. Moreover, ellagitannins are very unstable, with complex molecular
359
structures, thermolabile, and photosensitive. Furthermore, because of their structural
360
complexity, these compounds are poorly absorbed by the organism (low bioavailability)
361
and are bioconverted into lower molecular weight compounds.37 The consumption of
362
ellagitannins has a prebiotic-like effect and has been associated with different health

benefits.41 Urolithins are intestinal microbial metabolites produced from ellagitannin
364
and ellagic acid rich foods that are much better absorbed, with numerous benefits, such
365
as anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, antiglycative, antioxidant, and antimicrobial
366
effects.42 Recently, Selma et al.43 reported the importance of different types of urolithins
367
(urolithins A, B, and isourolithin A) and discussed their potential of novel probiotics with
368
applications in the development of functional foods and nutraceuticals.
369
Flavonoids and diarylketone derivatives. Several known flavonoids, their
370
glycosyl derivatives and diarylketone derivatives were identified in all fruits evaluated.
371
Nine different aglycones were detected: maclurin, quercetin, cirsiliol, myricetin,
372
isorhamnetin, phlorizin, kaempferol, diosmetin, and apigenin, and their derivatives.
373
Diarylketone derivatives were detected in jabuticaba (compounds 11 and 25). The MS²
374
spectrum of ion m/z 727 produced two major fragments: the ion at m/z 531 [M-H-152-
375
44]− arose from the loss of a galloyl moiety (Figure 2C), whereas the ion at m/z 261 [M-
376
H-466]− arose from the loss of a di-O-galloyl-glucoside, which led us to propose the
377
presence of a maclurin derivative, named maclurin-di-O-galloyl-hexoside. In the same
378
pattern of fragmentation, the m/z 575 was identified, and it represents maclurin mono-
379
O-galloyl-hexoside [m/z 727 – m/z 575 = 152 Da, because of a galloyl moiety].
380
Quercetin derivatives were detected in five fruits: cambuci, pitanga, mangaba,
381
jabuticaba, and araçá. Several substituents were detected in the quercetin aglycone. The
382
MSn fragmentation of the precursor ion at m/z 751 (Figure 2D) produced some
383
diagnostic fragments: the ion at m/z 599 [M-H-152]− is characteristic of a galloyl moiety
384
and the ion at m/z 301 [M-H-450]− arose from the loss of a di-O-galloyl-rhamnoside [M-
385
H-152-152-146]− (compound 8). Therefore, we suggest the identification of a quercetin-

386
di-O-galloyl-rhamnoside. The ion at m/z 585 showed the same pathway of
387
fragmentation and represents quercetin-O-galloyl-pentoside (compound 24).
388
The compound at m/z 685 was assigned as quercetin-O-malonyl-galloyl-
389
rhamnoside (compound 12); the MSn fragmentation of this precursor ion led to the
390
product ions at m/z 667 [M-H-18]−, due to a neutral loss of water; m/z 523 [M-H-162]−,
391
typical fragmentation of a hexose moiety; and m/z 345 [M-H-340]−, due to a loss of
392
rhamnoside + galloyl moiety + half of a malonyl group. The ion at m/z 301 [M-H-384]−
393
confirms the presence of a quercetin aglycone (Figure 2E).
394
A cirsiliol derivative (m/z 329) was detected in a jatobá fruit extract (HCC locality).
395
The MS² spectrum of the ion at m/z 653 showed major fragments at m/z 635 [M-H-18]−
396
(neutral loss of water), 491 [M-H-162]− (loss of a hexoside), 447, and 329 (cirsiliol
397
aglycone). The MS³ [653 → 491] spectrum showed fragments at m/z 431, 401, 343, 329
398
[M-H-162]−, due to a sequential loss of a hexoside moiety. We proposed the
399
identification of a cirsiliol-di-hexoside (compound 14).
400
Myricetin derivatives (m/z 317) were detected in pitanga, cagaita, jabuticaba,
401
and araçá fruits. The MSn spectrum of the ion at m/z 631 generated the product ions at
402
m/z 613 [M-H-18]− (neutral loss of water), 479 [M-H-152]− (loss of a galloyl moiety), and
403
317 [M-H-152-162]− (loss of galloyl + hexose moiety). The ion at m/z 317 confirms the
404
presence of a myricetin aglycone. The MS² spectrum of the ion at m/z 449(a) led to the
405
product ions at m/z 431 [M-H-18]− (neutral loss of water), m/z 345, and m/z 317 [M-H-
406
132]− (loss of a pentoside). The MS³ [449 → 317] generated the product ions at m/z 299,
407
271, 245, 195, 167, and 138 (myricetin confirmation ions).
408
Isorhamnetin derivatives were detected in jatobá (HCC), pitanga, jabuticaba, and
409
mangaba samples. Isorhamnetin is an O-methylated quercetin with m/z 315. The MS2

spectrum of the ion at m/z 639 generated the major fragment at m/z 477 [M-H-162]−
411
(loss of a hexoside) and the MS³ [639 → 477] generated the major fragment ion at m/z
412
315 [M-H-162-162]− (sequential loss of hexosides). This fragmentation pattern allowed
413
us to infer the presence of a isorhamnetin-dihexoside (compound 15). The MSn spectrum
414
of the ion at m/z 623 led to the product ions at m/z 461 [M-H-162]− (loss of a hexoside)
415
and 315 [M-H-162-146]− (loss of a rutinoside group), tentatively identified as
416
isorhamnetin-O-rutinoside.
417
Only one phloretin derivative was detected in this study, in jabuticaba samples.
418
The MSn spectrum at m/z 597 showed the major fragment ion at m/z 434 [M-H-162]−
419
(loss of a hexoside group); the confirmation ion at m/z 273 occurred because of a
420
concomitant loss of a second hexoside unit. We identified the ion at m/z 597 as
421
phloretin-di-hexoside (compound 21). Kaempferol aglycone (m/z 285) was detected in
422
pitanga, jabuticaba, and mangaba fruits. The ion at m/z 593 was identified as
423
kaempferol-rutinoside (compound 23). The MS² spectrum generated the major product
424
ion at m/z 285 [M-H-308]−, due to the loss of a rutinoside group. The MS² spectrum of
425
the precursor ion at m/z 447(c) generated the major fragment ion at m/z 285 [M-H-
426
162]−, attributed to the loss of a hexoside group, characteristic of a kaempferol-hexoside
427
(compound 38).
428
Diosmetin aglycone (m/z 299) was detected in jatobá (HCC) and mangaba fruits.
429
The MS² spectrum of the ion at m/z 445 generated the major fragment ions at m/z 427
430
[M-H-18]− (neutral loss of water), 415, 383, 329, and 299 [M-H-146]− (loss of a
431
deoxyhexose moiety), tentatively identified as diosmetin-deoxyhexoside (compound
432
39). Apigenin aglycone (m/z 269) was detected in jatobá (HCC), mangaba, and pequi
433
fruits. The MS² spectrum of the ions at m/z 431 and 401 showed the same base peak at

434
m/z 269, referent to the loss of a hexoside and a rhamnoside, respectively. A self-
435
proposed flavanone identification was made to araçá for the ion at m/z 297. The
436
pathway fragmentation is proposed in Figure 2F. The MS² spectrum of the ion at m/z 297
437
generated the major fragments: m/z 295 [M-H-2]−, because of double bond formation
438
in ring C (2-3); m/z 269 [M-H-28]−, due to the loss of a dimethyl group; and m/z 251 [M-
439
H-46]−, because of methoxy and methyl groups. The ion at m/z 595 was identified as
440
[2M-H]− adduct of the ion at m/z 297.
441
A wide variety of aglycones and substituents of flavonoids were detected in our
442
results. All biological functions depend on events that occur at the molecular level. Thus,
443
one must know the molecular structure to infer a function relationship.44 Flavonoid
444
derivatives, especially their glycosides, are the most common group of polyphenolic
445
plant secondary metabolites. They are the most vital phytochemicals in diets and are of
446
great general interest because of their diverse bioactivity.45 Most flavonoids appear in
447
the form of glycosides under natural conditions. However, some changes may occur
448
because of abiotic/biotic stress conditions of the plant, and these modifications often
449
change their solubility, reactivity, and stability.46 There are two ways in which flavonoids
450
can be absorbed by the body: through the small intestine or through the colon before
451
absorption.47 This depends on the physicochemical properties of the food, such as
452
molecular size, configuration, lipophilicity, and solubility.48 The sugar and substituent
453
moieties of flavonoids are important to determine their bioavailability.44 In our results,
454
we found galloyl, malonyl, and glycosyl flavonoids.
455
Galloyl-hexoside flavonoids were detected in cambuci, pitanga, cagaita, and
456
jabuticaba, all from the Myrtaceae family. Some studies have already detected galloyl
457
substituents in flavonoid aglycones in the Myrtaceae family.49–51 These compounds have
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
19
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 20 of 55
458
many biological functions, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuronal cellular
459
protecting, anti-diabetic, and anti-tumor effects.52,53
460
Although there are numerous studies related to the identification, isolation, and
461
biological activity of flavonoids, very little is known about how the flavonoid
462
glycosylation affects bioactivity in vivo.54 One flavanone aglycone was detected in araçá
463
fruits (m/z 297: 5-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavanone). Oikawa et al.55 isolated
464
one flavanone from Myrceugenia euosma (Myrtaceae) called 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-
465
dimethylflavanone (m/z 283), which has −14 Da than m/z 297, suggesting that the
466
flavanone proposed in our study has an additional methyl radical. Araçá fruits are the
467
only ones of the Myrtaceae family evaluated in this study that have this compound,
468
which reflects the smaller similarity between this species and the others of the
469
Myrtaceae family. Therefore, the fruits analyzed in this study (except for jenipapo) have
470
a wide variety of types of flavonoid derivatives.
471
Total phenolic content was different in each locality of cambuci, pitanga, cagaita,
472
araçá, mangaba, and pequi fruits (Table 5). The Myrtaceae family showed higher
473
phenolic content compared to the other families evaluated in this study (p=0.0320).
474
Pequi has the lowest phenolic content compared to the other fruits.
475
Iridoid Composition. Iridoids were detected only in jatobá and jenipapo fruits
476
(table 6). The deprotonated molecule at m/z 565 was tentatively identified as gardoside
477
derivative (HCA and HCB). The MS2 spectrum of ion 565 generated the major fragments
478
at 355 [M-H-210]− and 337 [M-H-228]− relative to the loss of one dehydrated and one
479
hydrated aglycone respective. MS³ [565 → 355] generated the major fragment ion at
480
m/z 337 [M-H-18]− (loss of water) and m/z 225 [M-H-130]−. The m/z 555 was tentatively
481
identified as genipin derivative (HCA and HCB). The MS/MS fragments at 392 [M-H-162]−

to the aglycone and were considered to propose the identification. Jenipapo (GAA and GAC) has three different ions with the main aglycone at m/z

488
[M-H-106-18]− (loss of water). The compound at m/z 515 [M-H]− showed MSn fragments
489
at m/z 349 [M-H-166]− (due to a phenolic acid substituent loss) and m/z 331 [M-H-184]−
490
(further loss of water – Figure 3B), and was identified as 1-hydroxy-5-(4’-
491
methoxybenzoyl)-7-(5’’-methoxygalloyl)-4a,5,6,7a-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta[c]pyran-
492
4-carboxylic acid. Similarly, the MSn fragmentation of the ion at m/z 531 [M-H]− led to
493
m/z 349 [M-H-182]− (due to the same phenolic acid substituent loss with one more
494
hydroxyl group). This compound was named 1-hydroxy-5-(4’-methoxybenzoyl)-7-(3’’-

Iridoid derivatives are monoterpenes with a cyclopentanopyran ring and occur
511
naturally in plants, but, in contrast to polyphenols, are rarely found in edible fruits.56
512
Apocynaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Diervillaceae, Lamiaceae, Loganiaceae, Fabaceae, and
513
Rubiaceae are the main families that show iridoids in their constitution.57 There are
514
many benefits in an iridoid-rich ingestion, such as antiaging,58 anti-inflammatory,58 and
515
antidiabetic effects.59
516
Although jenipapo and jatobá fruits are rich in iridoids,60–62 no iridoids detected
517
in the fruit extracts were identified before. However, based on the main fragmentations,
518
we could propose their molecular structures, but it is recommended that work be
519
dedicated to the isolation of these compounds for accurate identification by Nuclear
520
Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Our proposals were based on the main iridoid aglycones
521
found in the genera Genipa and Hymenaea: genipin and gardoside derivatives. Popov &
522
Handijeva63 proposed the main pathway fragmentations of iridoids by electron impact
523
ionization mass spectrometry, such as: [M-H-228]− due to aglycone loss, [M-H-162]−
524
because of a Retro-Dies-Alder loss or sugar moieties, and the classical fragments [M-H-
525
76]−, [M-H-44]−, [M-H-32]−, and [M-H-18]−. These fragmentation pathways were also
526
observed by Ren et al.64 with the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn)
527
technique, the same used in this study. Furthermore, based on the structural
528
rearrangements of the iridoid fragmentation pathways, we propose for the ion at m/z
529
349 the structure called 1,7-dihydroxy-5-(4’ methoxybenzoate) 4a,5,6,7a-tetrahydro-

localities. GAA and GCC have the same compounds: m/z 531, 515, and 349 (100%
534
similarity), while GAB presents the ions at m/z 276, 241, and 213 (0% similarity
535
compared to the other fruits).
536
The results obtained from Cluster Analysis of methanolic extract divided the
537
fruits into four distinct groups, as can be seen in Figure 4. One can also observe a high
538
diversity of secondary metabolites in these fruits, since many compounds are found in
539
only one species. The first group was formed by the samples of Myrtaceae fruits, which
540
are the only ones with ellagitannin derivatives, and they share some flavonoids, such as
541
compound 8 (m/z 751), detected in cambuci, cagaita, and jabuticaba, and compounds
542
16, 36, and 53, detected in pitanga, mangaba, and jabuticaba. Besides that, fruits from
543
the Myrtaceae family had the highest values of phenolic content (Table 5). Into this
544
group, we can highlight a strong similarity between pitanga and jabuticaba (~50%). Only
545
araçá presented flavanones (m/z 297 and 595). Despite a low similarity (~15%), the
546
second group is constituted by pequi and mangaba (Figure 1B), both having low phenolic
547
content and the compound 46 in common. The third group is represented by samples
548
of murici. These fruits have only 5% similarity compared to the other fruits analyzed.
549
Besides, HCA and HCB have a different composition compared to the HCC fruits (~15%),
550
which have flavonoids and iridoids. Jenipapo fruits form the fourth group and do not
551
have any compounds in common with the other fruits analyzed (0% similarity). In
552
addition, fruits from GAA and GAC also do not have any compounds in common with
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
23
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Page 24 of 55
553
those detected in the locality GAC. All compounds from jenipapo detected in this study
554
belong to the class of iridoids.
555
The same pattern of differentiation occurred in total phenolic content, since GAA
556
and GAC have statistically equivalent values compared to GAB. Jatobá fruits from locality
557
A and B have 100% similarity between each other (HCA and HCB). When compared to
558
HCC, they show 11.1% similarity. The ion at m/z 555 (shanzhiside aglycone derivative)
559
was the only ion detected in the three localities. We highlight that the content and
560
proportion of secondary metabolites may differ depending on ecological factors in areas
561
where the plants are grown.65 However, our data do not allow us to infer with precision
562
the real reason for these differences.
563
Our results show that the Brazilian fruit biodiversity is positively correlated with
564
the number of secondary metabolites. We detected 51 phenolic compounds (between
565
flavonoids and phenolic acids), 08 iridoids, 23 carotenoids, and 2 anthocyanins in nine
566
fruits from the Brazilian biodiversity. This shows an excellent resource with
567
technological and economic potential still unexplored, mainly for the nutritional and
568
pharmaceutical sectors. Some experimental studies in the field of nutrition, published
569
in high-quality editorial journals, often do not evaluate the chemical characterization of
570
the diet offered to patients and/or animals, and are based only on the literature to
571
justify the nutraceutical effects found in some foods. This study proves that the same
572
fruit can have a varied content of bioactive compounds when subjected to different
573
types of cultivation and environmental conditions. Therefore, analyses of chemical
574
composition are always of extreme importance. In addition, it enters as a database with
575
several proposals for identification of bioactive compounds, which will help several
576
future studies.

577
Hence, one must know the composition of the bioactive compounds present in
578
the natural resources from this country. Despite the inherent evidence that the fruits of
579
the Brazilian biodiversity have an immense nutritional and nutraceutical potential, it is
580
important to ensure the human right of adequate food to people that have difficult
581
access to food. This knowledge promotes food and nutritional security, achieving social
582
inclusion and citizenship. There are still few studies that detail the composition of these
583
fruits.
