Previous studies have assessed the properties of aqueous extracts, using byproducts such as jaboticaba peel. We potential antioxidant effects extract (Plinia jaboticaba) (JAE = 50 g/L) in vitro and vivo. Healthy Wistar rats received ad libitum JAE for either 15 or 49 days Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, delphinidin-3-O-glucoside, gallic acid, rutin, myricetin, quercetin were identified main polyphenols JAE. Lipid peroxidation values serum colon similar throughout groups. In addition, did not disturb systems. also altered gut microbiota, increasing since Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium Enterobacteriaceae counts. Bacterial metabolites higher content fed with than control group. Given these results, under healthy conditions, dietary supplementation could perform vivo modulation without disturbing system. Practical application Jaboticaba peel is a rich often-wasted source bioactive compounds, polyphenols. shown that physiological benefits this berry. The contribute to defense systems; it may an effect over microbiota related contents. Aqueous extraction be practical way employing compounds peel; can consumed daily safely, thus attracted particular attention. This work showed positive impacts treatments on systems, guide future clinical studies.
