Abstract. Fatty acid profiles and antimicrobial activity of ten oils from tropical fruit seeds were determined. The fatty acid composition of the oils was determined by GC-MS analysis that allowed identification of oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids as major constituents. Oil samples exhibited antimicrobial activity against fungus, yeast, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Eugenia uniflora seed oil was the most active for bacteria with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values from 39.0 to 1250 μg mL-1. E. uniflora oil showed strong activity against bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Klebsiella pneumoniae as wells as for yeast Candida utilis with MIC of 312.5 μg mL-1. The carboxylic group of acids identified was associated with the antimicrobial activity considering that the esterified oils showed MIC greater than 2000 μg mL-1. Our study showed that the tropical fruit seeds have antimicrobial potential and their residues from the fruit juice industry can be used as a source of bioactive products.
Resumen. Se determinaron los perfiles de ácidos grasos y la actividad antimicrobiana de diez aceites de semillas de frutas tropicales. La composición de ácidos grasos de los aceites se determinó mediante análisis CG-EM que permitió identificar los ácidos oleico, linoleico, palmítico y esteárico como constituyentes mayoritarios. Las muestras de aceite exhibieron actividad antimicrobiana contra hongos, levadura, Gram-positivas y bacterias Gram-negativas. El aceite de semilla de Eugenia uniflora fue el más activo para bacterias con valores de Concentración Inhibitoria Mínima (CIM) de 39,0 a 1250 μg mL-1. El aceite de E. uniflora mostró una fuerte actividad contra las bacterias Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis y Klebsiella pneumoniae, así como contra la levadura Candida utilis con CIM de 312.5 μg mL-1. El grupo de ácidos carboxílicos identificado se asoció con la actividad antimicrobiana considerando que los aceites esterificados presentaron CIM major a 2000 μg mL-1. Nuestro estudio mostró que las semillas de frutas tropicales tienen potencial antimicrobiano y sus residuos de la industria de jugos de frutas pueden usarse como fuente de productos bioactivos.
