Genipap pulp and siriguela seed
ethanol extracts presented an AChE inhibition zone similar to that of the positive control, carbachol. AChE inhibition
assay with chlorogenic acid, one of the main constituents of siriguela seeds, revealed that this acid
showed activity similar to that of the control physostigmine. These data suggest that these extracts are potentially
important antioxidant supplements for the everyday human diet, pharmaceutical and cosmetic
industries.
