Resumo: | Avocado is a nutritious fruit of the species Persea americana Mill, this hybrid cultivar belongs to the Lauraceae botanical family and has its origin in the American continent, widely produced in the Brazilian territory. Although this fruit has a high nutritional value, little is known about its phytochemical nature and antioxidant properties. The objective of this research was to evaluate the levels of carotenoids and antioxidant activity in the ripe pulp of avocado (Persea americana Mill). The pulp of the fruit was extracted by maceration, the samples were analyzed according to the methodology described in the literature for total carotenoids, and antioxidant activity by the methods - ABTS, DPPH and FRAP. The quantification of phytochemical parameters was performed by means and standard deviations. And the statistical evaluation was determined through analysis of variance and comparison by the Tukey test with a significance level of p <0.05. The results indicate that the avocado pulp is rich in carotenoids, mainly α-carotene, canthaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, β-carotene and β-zeacarotene, whereas phytofluene appeared in a small amount (4.81 μg of β -carotene) in this part of the fruit. The bioactive compounds determined by DPPH showed results ranging from 41.10 to 98.32 µmolTrolox.g-1, and ABTS, which showed results ranging from 141, 54 µmolTrolox.g-1 to 402.14 µmolTrolox.g-1. Thus, the high content of carotenoids found, is a source of antioxidants that stabilize free radicals, important in combating oxidative stress. |

Aunque esta fruta tiene un alto valor nutricional, se sabe poco sobre su naturaleza fitoquímica y sus propiedades antioxidantes. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar los niveles de carotenoides y la actividad antioxidante en la pulpa madura de aguacate (Persea americana Mill). La pulpa del fruto se extrajo por maceración, las muestras se analizaron según la metodología descrita en la literatura para carotenoides totales, y actividad antioxidante por los métodos - ABTS, DPPH y FRAP. La cuantificación de los parámetros fitoquímicos se realizó mediante medias y desviaciones estándar. Y la evaluación estadística se determinó mediante análisis de varianza y comparación mediante la prueba de Tukey con un nivel de significancia de p <0.05. Los resultados indican que la pulpa de aguacate es rica en carotenoides, principalmente α-caroteno, cantaxantina, β-criptoxantina, zeaxantina, β-caroteno y β-zeacaroteno, mientras que fitoflueno apareció en pequeña cantidad (4,81 μg de β -caroteno) en esta parte de la fruta. Los compuestos bioactivos determinados por DPPH mostraron resultados que variaron de 41,10 a 98,32 µmolTrolox.g-1, y ABTS, que mostraron resultados que variaron de 141, 54 µmolTrolox.g-1 a 402,14 µmolTrolox.g-1. Así, el alto contenido de carotenoides encontrado, es una fuente de antioxidantes que estabilizan los radicales libres, importante en la lucha contra el estrés oxidativo.O abacate é um fruto nutritivo da espécie Persea americana Mill, este cultivar híbrido pertence à família botânica Lauraceae e tem sua origem no continente Americano, amplamente produzido no território brasileiro.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os teores de carotenoides e a atividade antioxidante na polpa madura de abacate (Persea americana Mill).Foi realizada a extração da polpa do fruto por maceração, as amostras foram analisadas conforme a metodologia descrita na literatura para carotenoides totais, e a atividade antioxidante pelos métodos – ABTS, DPPH E pelo FRAP. a quantificação dos parâmetros fitoquímicos foi realizada por média e desvio padrão. e a avaliação estatística foi determinada por meio da análise de variância e comparação pelo teste de Tukey com nível de significância p < 0,05. os resultados apontam que a polpa do abacate é rica em carotenoides, principalmente α-caroteno, cantaxantina, β-criptoxantina, zeaxantina, β-caroteno e β- zeacaroteno, ao passo que o fitoflueno apareceu em pequena quantidade (4,81 μg de β-caroteno) nesta parte do fruto. Os compostos bioativos determinados por DPPH apresentaram resultados que variaram de 41,10 a 98,32 µmolTrolox.g-1, e ABTS, que apresentaram resultados que variaram de 141, 54 µmolTrolox.g-1 a 402,14 µmolTrolox.g-1.
