RESUMEN: Este artículo reporta los usos populares de la Passiflora ligularis juss entre los campesinos del departamento del Huila y los resultados preliminares sobre su composición fitoquímica. En la primera etapa de esta investigación se hizo un inventario de los usos que los agricultores hacen de distintas partes de la planta con base en una encuesta etnobotánica realizada a 42 familias. Este conocimiento popular sirvió de punto de partida para seleccionar los análisis cualitativos básicos que permitieran identificar la actividad biológica de esta especie como la marcha fitoquímica, el análisis bromatológico y el análisis de minerales. Se encontraron 26 usos populares especialmente medicinales y alimenticios. Algunos usos medicinales podrían estar relacionados con la presencia cualitativa de compuestos hallados en la marcha fitoquímica. El empleo de la cáscara de granadilla para nutrición animal se encontró justificado por su aporte en calorías y en fibra. El estudio destaca el aporte de la pulpa de la fruta como fuente de magnesio para los niños menores de un año. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la composición de la pulpa de granadilla de tres municipios debido a las condiciones agroecológicas y a la nutrición mineral a las que son sometidas las plantas.
ABSTRACT: This article reports the common uses of the Passiflora ligularis juss among the farm workers in the department of Huila and the preliminary results of its phytochemical composition. In the first phase of this investigation, an ethnobotany survey distributed among 42 families was consulted to create an inventory of the agricultural uses of the different parts of the plant. This information served as a starting point to select the basic qualitative analysis which allows the identification of biological activity of this species such as the phytochemical analysis, the bromatological analysis, and the mineral analysis. Twenty six common uses were discovered especially for medical and nutritional purposes. Some medicinal uses may be related to the qualitative presence of compositions found in the phytochemical analysis. The use of the grenade’s outer shell for animal nutrition was found to be justified based on the calories and fiber. This study highlights the finding that the pulp of the fruit is a source of magnesium for children younger than a year. Significant differences were found in the composition of the grenade’s pulp of three different areas due to agroecological conditions and the mineral nutrition that the plants receive.
