Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Acrocomia aculeata contains various phytochemicals that contribute to the health benefits, and the consumption of both pulp and kernel is very popular in the Brazilian Cerrado region. Although a lot of research has been conducted, none review of the literature about health benefits of Acrocomia aculeata and its phytochemicals has been compiled. In this sense, this chapter aimed to present the results of studies carried out on the species in traditional application, phytochemicals, health benefits and toxicology of the fruit, kernel and leaves of A. aculeata. The main phytochemicals found in pulp, kernel and leaves are rutin, quercetin and tocopherols. These common phytochemicals are responsible for health effects such as: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial, hypolipidemic and diuretic effects. Moreover, toxicological studies have been explored to evaluate the safety of parts of the plant that are commonly consumed and provide information on benefits and uses. This work compiles several useful reports for researchers interested in biological activity and main uses of A. aculeata.
