SUMMARY:

Myrciaria floribunda, popularly known as Cambiuva or rumberry, is a species belonging to the Myrtaceae family, widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Australia, South America, Tropical America and Southeast Asia. This plant native to South America, especially found in Brazil, is valued for its nutritional and therapeutic qualities, with its fruits rich in vitamins and antioxidants consumed fresh. In the Northeast of Brazil, especially in Alagoas, a plant is part of the rich local biodiversity, which has more than 1,800 species of angiosperms. Rumberry has significant economic potential for commercialization and industrialization due to its composition rich in sugars, vitamin C and bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, carotenoids and phenolic compounds. The essential oils extracted from its leaves, flowers and stems have antimicrobial, antitumor and anticholinesterase properties. This objective study evaluates the antioxidant and antifungal potential of essential oils extracted from Myrciaria floribunda. The extraction of essential oils will be carried out by hydrodistillation, followed by the characterization of the chemical compounds present using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Antioxidant properties will be evaluated by in vitro assays, such as DPPH and ABTS, while antifungal activity will be investigated using disk diffusion and microdilution methods to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Contributing to the understanding and appreciation of Myrciaria floribunda, supporting its cultivation and consumption in the market that seeks new flavors and foods with high nutritional value, in addition to enhancing its use in modern phytotherapy.
