![]() Os clones analisados foram: CCP 76, CCP 09, BRS 189 e BRS 265, em sete estádios de amadurecimento. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se avaliar o potencial antioxidante de pedúnculos de cajus de diferentes clones de cajueiro anão precoce, durante o seu amadurecimento. ![]() Ultimamente, o consumo de frutas tropicais tem aumentado em razão de um maior conhecimento de seu valor nutricional e terapêutico. Polyphenols ABTS vitamin C carotenoids food analysis Cashew apples are consumed fresh which confers direct benefits for human health and present high potential for the development of new products with functional properties. The antioxidant activity of cashew apples (Anacardium occidentale L.) is mainly attributed to polyphenol content (r = 0.90 p < 0.01), and, therefore, they may be considered relevant sources of antioxidant compounds, which are necessary for human health. The highest levels of extrable polyphenols and antioxidant capacity were observed in CCP 09 in the first five ripening stages. ![]() The yellow flavonoids content was higher for ripe CCP 76 and BRS 189 cashew apples with 56.32 and 50.75 mg x 100 g-1, respectively. The ripe BRS 189 cashew apple is colored bright red, and its total anthocyanin content was the highest (21.16 mg x 100 g-1). Clone BRS 265 ripe cashew apple presented the highest vitamin C content (279.37 mg x 100 g-1). They were analyzed for vitamin C, total carotenoid, total anthocyanin, yellow flavonoids and polyphenol content and total antioxidant capacity. The clones analyzed included: CCP 76, CCP 09, BRS 189 and BRS 265 in seven ripening stages. The aim of this work was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of cashew apples from different early dwarf clones during their ripening. Lately, tropical fruit consumption has increased due to a higher knowledge of its nutritional and therapeutic value.
