Acai berry research is gaining momentum now that the acai berry is being widely touted as a superfood for it’s antioxidant and metabolic properties. This Brazilian acai berry is flying off store shelves and into the hands of people desperate for help. What is the truth about the acai berry?

Texas AgriLife Research scientists enlisted twelve healthy volunteers to test the absorption of antioxidants in human subjects. The results showed that at 12 and 24 hours hours after consumption of acai berry the blood and urine samples indicated elevated antioxidant levels. In this first ever study of the properties of the acai berry, the results are encouraging. Further studies will help determine ideal consumption levels.

Another acai research study had these findings: The antioxidant capacities of 11 commercial and non-commercial samples of Euterpe oleracea Mart. (acai) fruit pulp were studied with the total oxidant scavenging capacity assay in a modified and automated version against three reactive oxygen species.

The antioxidant capacities of all purple acai samples were found to be excellent against peroxyl radicals, good against peroxynitrite and poor against hydroxyl radicals compared with common European fruit and vegetable juices recently analysed. In all cases the correlation between sample concentration and antioxidant capacities was non-linear.

The phenolic compounds in purple acai fruit pulp were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the two major anthocyanins, cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-rutinoside, were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography-visible spectrometry.

The contributions of the anthocyanins to the overall antioxidant capacities of the fruit were estimated to be only approximately 10%. Obviously, compounds not yet identified are responsible for the major part of the antioxidant capacities of the acai fruit pulp. Further acai berry research is highly anticipated.
