Abstract
En la actualidad, las exigencias de los consumidores están enfocados en la búsqueda de nuevos productos con propiedades funcionales y medicinales que puedan proporcionar un valor nutritivo y otros
componentes importantes que favorecen a la salud. En este contexto, estos alimentos están evolucionando como una estrategia potencial en la prevención de enfermedades crónicas porque tienen efectos beneficiosos fisiológicos, debido a que poseen compuestos bioactivos relacionados con propiedades analgésicas, antiinflamatorias, anticancerígenas, antidiabéticas, hepatoprotectoras, nefrógenas y antioxidantes; éstos componentes están contenidos en diversas plantas de los cultivos de la agrobiodiversidad de la Amazonía ecuatoriana.
El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar especies vegetales con características funcionales y medicinales que contribuyan a mejorar el sistema inmunológico, para lo cual se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura disponible en plataformas digitales, lo que permitió identificar 15 especies con características funcionales y medicinales por sus propiedades antioxidantes, inmunoestimulantes, antiinflamatorias, antioxidantes, antivirales, antimicrobianas, antifúngicas, y anticancerígenas. Estas especies constituyen una alternativa potencial para aportar el sistema inmunológico.

These species are a potential alternative to support the immune system.

Description
El principal problema que enfrenta la humanidad es la contaminación del agua, suelo y aire, pérdida de la
biodiversidad, angustia social por enfermedades, de sertificación, cambio climático, lo cual presiona a pro-fundizar la crisis del sistema agroalimentario global, por el uso excesivo de recursos no renovables, agro-tóxicos y monocultivos que han generado pobreza e inseguridad alimentaria.
