An Integrative Approach to the Flavonoid Profile in Some Plants' Parts of the Genus.

The Annonaceae family is widely distributed in subtropical and tropical regions. Several species of this family are known for their pharmacological and beneficial properties to human health, mainly attributed to flavonoids. The objective of this work was to carry out an integrative review in order to identify the main flavonoids found in some plant parts belonging to the genus: araticum tree ( Mart.), graviola tree (), atemoya tree ( Mill × L.), pinha tree (), bananinha tree (), and marolinho tree (). Only articles published between the years 2016 to 2021 that answered the guiding question were considered, in order to obtain recent data. Then, search strategies were designated for each database used: Science Direct, CAPES Periodicals, and Scielo. Most of the studies retrieved from the databases are related to fruits. The results showed that the number of flavonoids identified varies according to the analytical methodology used to identify and quantify the compounds. Quercetin was the most commonly found compound in all fruits of the genus studied, and epicatechin, rutin, and kaempferol were also found to a lesser extent. The presence of these compounds in makes the fruit promising, with potential applicability in the pharmaceutical and food industry.
