ABSTRACT

About 600 species of Passiflora are described around the world, of which 120 are native to Brazil. In the present work, the phytochemical compounds were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and the antioxidant activities (AOX) were measured in the pulp of P. edulis and P. cincinnata species. The P. edulis presented a higher bioactive content and AOX when compared to P. cincinnata. Citric and malic acids were the main organic acids found. The principal component analysis-PCA associated the highest values of quercetin-3-glucoside, hesperidin, trans-caftaric acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, trans-resveratrol, rutin, procyanidin-B2, epigallocatechin-gallate and epicatechin-gallate, to P. cincinnata. The P. edulis was associated with higher values of total phenolic, vitamin C, total carotenoids, AOX (DPPH^•, ABTS^+• and FRAP), cis-resveratrol, naringenin, kaempferol-3-glucoside, myricetin and procyanidin-B1. P. cincinnata, although not a commercial species such as P. edulis, presented phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in acceptable values, including the high values of quercetin 3-glucoside. The present study contributes to the knowledge of the physical-chemical composition of the Passiflora species.

摘要

在世界范围内描述了约600种西番莲，其中120种原产于巴西。在目前的工作中，通过高效液相色谱法分析植物化学化合物，并测量了食用假单胞菌和cincinnnata物种的果肉中的抗氧化活性（AOX）。该毛竹时相比，呈现较高的生物活性含量和AOX P. cincinnata。柠檬酸和苹果酸是发现的主要有机酸。主成分分析-PCA关联了槲皮素-3-葡萄糖苷，橙皮苷，反式-卡法酸，绿原酸，咖啡酸，对-香豆酸，反式的最高值-白藜芦醇，芦丁，原花青素-B2，表没食子儿茶素-没食子酸酯和表儿茶素-没食子酸酯对P. cincinnata。的毛竹用总酚，维生素C，总类胡萝卜素的更高的值相关联，AOX（DPPH ^•，ABTS ^+•和FRAP），顺式-白藜芦醇，柚皮素，山柰酚素-3-葡萄糖苷，杨梅素和原花青素-B1。P. cincinnata，虽然不是商业品种如毛竹，呈现酚类化合物和抗氧化活性在可接受的值，包括槲皮素-3-葡萄糖苷的高值。本研究有助于了解西番莲物种的物理化学组成。
