A literature review was carried out between February and April 2022 in the Scielo, PubMed and Google academic databases with the aim of searching for materials that explore activities and chemical applications of the species Spondias purpurea L., a species that has great emergence in the northeast region of Brazil and has antioxidant activity cited in the literature, but studies on other biological activities and applications of the species are still incipient. From the data obtained, it is evident that the antioxidant activity of the species has a greater number of studies, and Brazilian universities are responsible for their development. There is a trend of insertion of the species as an ingredient of functional foods such as flours, yogurts and others, however, the exploitation is still small. The species shows great potential for several areas which are still little explored, requiring the development of more work aimed at other areas of the industry, such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, for example.
