Resumo
Brazil is a country of great diversity in species of native fruits, yet little explored, but with huge
agro-industrial and nutritional potential, being mangaba one of these promising fruit. Research
indicates that the intake of conventional, exotic and native fruits provide not only essential
nutrients, but also bioactive compounds that promote beneficial effects on human health,
reducing the risk of chronic diseases and even cancer, due to the interaction between these
compounds and their antioxidant potential. This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of
bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in raw fruits mangaba (Hancornia speciosa
Gomes), and the influence of conservation methods: freezing, freeze-drying and foam layer
before these biocompounds. The samples were evaluated at Chemistry and Biochemistry
Laboratory of Food of Faculty of Pharmacy of Federal University of Goiás, as regard of:
ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, carotenoids and total antioxidant activity by DPPH
methods, ABTS and FRAP. Analyses were performed in triplicate for each sample, and the
results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The results showed significant correlation
between the content of total phenolic compounds and total antioxidant activity by FRAP
method, showing that ascorbic acid content, contributed to the antioxidant activity of the
samples. Thus, there is a possibility of using mangaba, both for consumption and fresh using,
referred to as different methods of preservation, possibly enabling the use of the fruit as a
functional food.
