Artocarpus heterophyllus, Plant extract, Antibacterial activity, Antioxidant capacityAbstract
Artocarpus heterophyllus is a tree of Indian origin that was adapted in Brazil and spread throughout the country. Popularly known as jackfruit, it is an invasive species with sweetened fruits that can reach up to 35 kg and is consumed by various animals. Its pulp is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, lipids, minerals, and secondary compounds. In addition to pulp consumption, the seeds are cooked or roasted and represent a great source of proteins, vitamins, and carbohydrates. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biological potential of the ethanolic crude extract and the aqueous, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and hexane fractions of A. heterophyllus seeds. Antioxidant and antibacterial activities, secondary compounds and total phenolic were also evaluated. All fractions evaluated showed antibacterial activity. The hexane fraction showed better results in two antioxidant activities tested. The ethanolic extract and hexane fraction showed high content of phenolic compounds. A. heterophyllus seeds have high antioxidant and antibacterial potential, which may be associated with the presence of secondary metabolites, such as phenols, flavones, flavonols, and xanthones.
