Abstract

Graphical abstract: Representation of mass spectrometry analysis with paper spray ionization using different solvents in araticum samples. Highlights: Different araticum fruit parts were evaluated for their chemical profile. Three solvents were tested; The fruit, in general, is composed of acetogenins and alkaloids; The ethanol solvent extracted a more significant number of compounds; The global evaluation showed that the samples are grouped by the part of the fruit studied regardless of the solvent. Abstract: The Brazilian cerrado is considered one of the most critical biomes in the world. Araticum ( Annona crassiflora Mart. ) is a native plant from the Brazilian cerrado, abundant in nutrients and highly energetic. This study aimed to obtain chemical fingerprints of different parts of the araticum fruit, i.e. pulp, peel, and seed. Extracts from these three parts were prepared using different solvents (ethanol, water, and mixtures of ethanol and water) and later analyzed by paper spray ionization mass spectrometry. In general, ethanol extracted more metabolites than the other solvents. The chemical profiles varied according to the fruit part, geographic location, and extractor solvent. Among the metabolites, acetogenins (62.3%) and alkaloids (20.7%) predominated. Principal component analyses revealed that the samples were grouped according to the fruit part, regardless of the extractor solvent used. Araticum shows remarkable potential due to the beneficial properties of the metabolites for human health. The insertion of araticum in the human diet is still underexplored but is a promising alternative.
