RESUMEN
The Amazon region comprises a plethora of fruit-bearing species of which a large number are still agriculturally unimportant. Because fruit consumption has been attributed to an enhanced physical well-being, interest in the knowledge of the chemical composition of underexplored exotic fruits has increased during recent years. This paper provides a comprehensive identification of the polyphenolic constituents of four underutilized fruits from the Amazon region by HPLC/DAD-ESI-MS(n). Araçá ( Psidium guineense ), jambolão ( Syzygium cumini ), muruci ( Byrsonima crassifolia ), and cutite ( Pouteria macrophylla ) turned out to be primarily good sources of hydrolyzable tannins and/or flavonols. Additionally, different flavanonols and proanthocyanidins were identified in some fruits. The antioxidant capacity was determined by using the total oxidant scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay. Cutite showed the highest antioxidant capacity followed by jambolão, araçá, and muruci.

Chemical analysis of nuts and embryo of babaçu (Orbignya martiana) were carryed out. The amount of enzymes was quite small in the nuts but high in the embryos. The enzymes detected in this work are: two leucine-aminepeptidase, three malate dehydrogenases and two glycero-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase. 100 grams of material the nuts had 0,047 mg Riboflavin; 14mg Ascorbic acid and 32,6mg alpha-tocoferol. 100gr of embryo had 0,100mg of Riboflçavind 3,4 of ascorbic acid and 30,0mg of alpha-tocoferol.
Analisou-se separadamente amêndoas e embriões de cocos de babaçu, (Orbignya martiana) para estudar algumas de suas enzimas e vitaminas tendo em vista seu maior consumo na alimentação. Detetou-se sistematicamente duas frações protéicas fortemente coradas e uma que aparece em algumas amostras e não aparece em outras. Das enzimas constatou-se três leucino-aminoptidase málicas (MDH1, MDH2, MDH3) e duas deidrogenase do glicerol -3-fosfato (GPD). Quanto às vitaminas constatou-se existir em 100 gramas de material: no embrião 0.100mg de riboflovina, 3,4 de vit. C e 30 de alfa-tocoferol; a amêndoa tem pouco menos da metade das vitaminas B1 e C.

RESUMEN
Junça (Cyperus esculentus Linné), edible bulb of Maranhão that has good nutritional value. F. Marx, and W. E. Kerr.Bulbs of junça one sold in the streets oF Sao Luis, Ma, Brazil, as a delicacy. It has good nutritional value like: 6-10% protein, 6.95 to 9,32mg/lOOg of alpha-tocoferol, 1.20 to 2.52mg/100 of gama-tocoferol, 424.4mg/100g of K and 3,5mg/100g of Zn.Our samples had 1.4% glicose and 16.0% of saccharose. Literature is revised and this bulb is recommended for human consumption.
