Description
Luísa dos Santos Conceição and co-authors reviewed fifteen years of work in 2026 on quixabeira, a thorny medicinal tree known to rural communities in Brazil. Their aim was to gather what is known about each plant part and where useful products or treatments might realistically come from.
Leaf extracts were studied most, often made with methanol or ethanol, and showed antioxidant and microbe-fighting activity in laboratory tests. Fruit work is thinner, though pigments and flavonoids were measured. Local uses span food, medicine, animal care, and building. The reviewers say safety and dosing work is still missing, so claimed benefits should be treated as early leads awaiting stronger checks.
