Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of fruit of temperate climate produced in subtropical regions

Temperate fruit species, originate from regions with cold winters and well-defined climatic seasons. These fruits are also produced in subtropical tropical regions. The aim of this study was to determine the bioactive compounds antioxidant activity different cultivars trees temperate climate, such as peach, pear, quince, fig, able be subtropic Analyzes activity, total phenolics ascorbic acid were carried out. In peaches, ‘Biuti’ had highest phenolic content, ‘Bonão’ stood out relation (ABTS) acid. For quinces, 'Lageado' higher ‘Provence’ ‘CTS’ showed (ABTS), ‘Alaranjado’ (DPPH). ‘Fuller’, ‘Smyrna’ ‘Portugal’ ones levels pears, ‘Seleta’ (DPPH) ‘Centenaria’ presented (ABTS). figs, ‘Três num Prato’, ‘Lemon’ ‘Brunswick’ content. prato’ ‘Roxo de Valinhos’ content consecutively. It found that these evaluated great variability, even under similar conditions.
