Abstract

Pimentaracemosavar.racemosa(Myrtaceae) is a Caribbean arboreal plant known as Bay rum, with a special interest for the cosmetics industry, due to its essential oil. In present study, proximate composition and mineral content of Bay rum fruits was analyzed and results compared to the USDA (2012),1 through the nutrient database for Pimentadioicafruits. The results of bromatologic test of Bay rum revealed a high content of crude fiber (39.46%) and ashes (18.58%). Furthermore, minerals such as potassium (K) and zinc (Zn), found in ashes by using ICP-AES, revealed a higher content of these (6.6 and 1.1 times, respectively), comparing to P. dioica. Bay rum fruits might be considered as possible source of Zn and K for human and animal consumption. Additionally, the high crude fiber content might contribute to blood sugar levels regulation and also to reduce developing gastrointestinal diseases such as colon cancer. Keywords: Pimentaracemosa, fruits, proximate analysis, minerals, potassium, zinc

红椒的近似分析及矿物组成。总状果采自委内瑞拉Táchira州

Pimentaracemosavar.racemosa(桃金娘科)是一种加勒比树栖植物，被称为海湾朗姆酒，由于其精油而对化妆品行业特别感兴趣。本研究分析了月桂朗姆酒果实的近似成分和矿物质含量，并通过pimentadioicfruits营养数据库将结果与USDA(2012)，1进行了比较。结果表明，月桂朗姆酒的粗纤维(39.46%)和灰分(18.58%)含量较高。此外，通过ICP-AES在灰烬中发现的钾(K)和锌(Zn)等矿物质的含量比白杨高(分别为6.6倍和1.1倍)。月桂朗姆酒果实可能是人类和动物食用锌和钾的可能来源。此外，高粗纤维含量可能有助于调节血糖水平，并减少结肠癌等胃肠道疾病的发生。关键词:辣椒，果实，近似分析，矿物质，钾，锌
