Abstract

The antioxidant capacities of avocado, pineapple, banana, papaya, passion fruit, watermelon and melon's different parts (pulp, seed, raw peel and dried peels) were evaluated using DPPH and FRAP assays. Levels of total phenolic compounds and flavonoids were measured. Quantitation of organic acids (citric, malic and tartaric) and phenolic compounds was also performed by UPLC–ESI(−)–MS. Avocado dried peel presented the highest total phenolic compounds (1252.31±165.62mgGAE100g−1 DW), the highest antioxidant capacities by the FRAP assay (441.83±67.86μmolFeSO4g−1 DW) and the lowest IC50 value (18.22±1.45μg·mL−1), followed by passion fruit seed (49.71±2.17μg·mL−1). Melon raw peel presented the highest total flavonoids (204.28±21.05mgEQ100g−1 DW). Citric, malic and tartaric acids as well as catechin hydrate, epicatechingallate, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, and epigallocatechin gallate were found in the methanol fruit extracts by UPLC–ESI–(−)–MS.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
