Overview

Analysis reveals higher flavonoid content in Mirití and notable phenolic compounds in Açaí and Cupuassu, indicating their potential health benefits.

Key Points

  • M. flexuosa displayed the highest total flavonoid content, notably catechin at 4.86 µg/g.
  • E. oleracea and E. precatoria had the highest phenolic acid concentrations, dominated by 4-hydroxybenzoic and ferulic acids.
  • LC-QqQ-MS was utilized to quantify 14 flavonoids and 23 phenolic acids in fruit samples from Vaupés, Colombia.
  • Findings highlight the underreported phytochemical value of these Amazonian fruits for potential functional food applications.
