Abstract
ABSTRACT This work aims to characterize the genipap, a typical South American fruit, as to their nutritional composition, bioactive compounds, antioxidant capacity, and antinutrients, and to evaluate their action in the preservation of β-carotene subjected to high temperatures. It has great nutritional quality, high content of dietary fiber (4.64 g.100 g−1), carotenoids (874.49 mg.100 g−1), iron (15.94 mg.100 g−1), calcium (458.44 mg.100 g−1), and potassium (350.42 mg.100 g−1), and reduced amount of antinutrients. There is strong positive correlation between the phenolic constituents and antioxidant capacity. An extract was able to inhibit 50% of β-carotene oxidation.
