Exploration of Technological Genipa Americana L.
Abstract
Currently, it has been used to extract formulating agents and antioxidants body lotions, dye
nutritional and tattoo antileukemic products. These new technologies are informed in their
chemical composition with the presence of flavonoids and mainly iridoid genipin. The study aims to
present the state of the art biological activity on the use of genipap extract. There was the work
there is no product or formulation relating the G. americana L with the biological activities of
healing, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and notified antioxidant and antileukemic action of the fruit
extract. It was referred to the gel production and microemulsion containing extract or fruit oil, leaf
or bark of genipap. However, the main product was reported dye production, and Latin American
nutritional companies the largest depositories of patents. Like this, the study shows that there is a
still unexplored area on genipap the potential for many biological uses, not only for dye production
from the blue pigment of the fruit.
