Tolerance to waterlogging in young Euterpe oleracea plants

Photosynthetica, 2014
This study investigated whether gas exchange and the present content of antioxidant compounds can contribute to the survival of Euterpe oleracea plants in environments of frequent waterlogging. A factorial randomised, experimental design included two distinct water conditions (waterlogging and control) and five evaluation times (0, 6, 12, 18, and 24 d).

Germination and allometry of the native palm tree Euterpe edulis compared to the introduced E. oleracea and their hybrids in Atlantic rainforest

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Palms are distinctive plants of tropics and have peculiar allometric relations. Understanding such relations is useful in the case of introduced species because their ability to establish and invade must be clarified in terms of their responses in the ...

Development, Characterization, and Stability of Burgers With Partial or Total Replacement of Beef by Vegetable Ingredients

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the partial or total replacement of beef (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) with plant‐based ingredients (risotto rice, textured soy protein, and cassava starch) in burgers, combined with the incorporation of freeze‐dried açaí pulp as an antioxidant and natural colorant, and sesame oil as a substitute for beef fat.

Screening the Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Activity, and Toxicity of Ten Species of Non‐Conventional Food Plants From Southern Brazil

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study found that the ten unconventional food plants from southern Brazil studied exhibited high antioxidant activity, a diversity of phenolic compounds, and no toxicity in vivo. These data demonstrate that these plants have promising benefits for human health and may be a potential protective agent against oxidative damage.
