Introduction
Pouteriatorta (Mart.)Radlk (Sapotaceae) is a perennialtree, nativetoBrazil,distributedfromCentraltoSouthAmerica.InBrazil, itpresentsawidedistributionbeingfoundinNorth,Northwest, Midwestand Southeast areas,includingfourphytogeographical domains:Amazonrainforest,Caatinga (dryforest),Cerrado and Atlanticforest(FloradoBrasil,2018).Thisplantiscommonlycalled “guapeva”,“curiola”,“acáferro”,“abiudocerrado”,and“grãode galo”, and it is used both as food resource and antidysenteric medicine(Perfeitoetal.,2005).
