Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, Curitiba, v. 47, n. 2, p. 253-259, June 2004.1516-8913e- 1678-4324http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/16104The aim of this work was to analyze and quantify the presence of antinutritional compounds such as lectins and trypsin-like inhibitors, polyphenols and tannins, and enzymatic activity of peroxidases and proteases in the seeds of Annona crassiflora Mart. (araticum), Hymenaea courbaril L. var. courbaril (jatobá), Plathymenia reticulata Benth. (vinhático), Zanthoxylum rhoifolium Lam. (maminha de porca), Apeiba tibourbou Aubl. (pau jangada), Salacia crassiflora Mart G. Don. (bacupari), and Sclerolobium paniculatum Vog. (carvoeiro). The results suggested that these plants could be used as new source of food.engAcesso AbertoCerrado plantsBiochemical characterizationPlant enzymesArtigo
