Açai Makes Headlines in Prestigious Book by ACS: Flavor and Health Benefits of Small Fruits
October 26, 2010 1 Comment
A chapter discussing the benefits of the açai berry has been published in the book, Flavor and Health Benefits of Small Fruits, published by Oxford University Press in conjunction with the American Chemical Society (ACS), the largest scientific organization in the world.
The article is co-authored by Dr. Alex Schauss, a member of the MonaVie Scientific Advisory Board, who commented, “It’s an honor to have an article requested for submission into this invitation-only symposium series publication.”
The following is an excerpt from chapter 13, “Açai: An Amazonian Palm Fruit with Broad Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activities”: The pulp of the Amazonian palm fruit, açai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), has been found to have exceptional antioxidant capacity in vitro, particularly against the superoxide, peroxyl, and hydroxyl radicals. Studying foods for their potential health benefits to humans can benefit from in vitro assays that can correlate with in vivo outcomes.
