In this study the native carotenoid composition of previously uninvestigated fruits from the Brazilian Amazon was determined; marirana (Couepia subcordnrn Benth.), inaja (Maximiliana maripa) and canna (Mauritiella armeta) were analyzed by an HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS methodology. Three carotenoids were identified in marirana pulp, all-trans-alpha-carotene (6407 +/- 380 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight) and all -trans-beta-carotene (6331 +/- 410 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight) being the two major carotenoids, followed by zeaxanthin dilaurate (1061 +/- 80 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight). Only beta-carotene was found in inaja pulp (1371 +/- 370 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight). In man& pulp, four carotenoids were identified, all-trans-beta-carotene being the most predominant (373 +/- 80 pg 100 g(-1), fresh matter), followed by all-trans-alpha-carotene (230 +/- 60 pg 100 g(-1), fresh weight), lutein (198 +/- 40 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight) and 9-cis-beta-carotene (111 +/- 30 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight). The cultivation and consumption of these fruits should be encouraged, since they could contribute to the intake of important carotenoids that could have beneficial effects on human health.

Abstract
In this study the native carotenoid composition of previously uninvestigated fruits from the Brazilian Amazon was determined; marirana (Couepia subcordnrn Benth.), inaja (Maximiliana maripa) and canna (Mauritiella armeta) were analyzed by an HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS methodology. Three carotenoids were identified in marirana pulp, all-trans-alpha-carotene (6407 +/- 380 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight) and all -trans-beta-carotene (6331 +/- 410 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight) being the two major carotenoids, followed by zeaxanthin dilaurate (1061 +/- 80 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight). Only beta-carotene was found in inaja pulp (1371 +/- 370 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight). In man& pulp, four carotenoids were identified, all-trans-beta-carotene being the most predominant (373 +/- 80 pg 100 g(-1), fresh matter), followed by all-trans-alpha-carotene (230 +/- 60 pg 100 g(-1), fresh weight), lutein (198 +/- 40 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight) and 9-cis-beta-carotene (111 +/- 30 mu g 100 g(-1), fresh weight). The cultivation and consumption of these fruits should be encouraged, since they could contribute to the intake of important carotenoids that could have beneficial effects on human health.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
