Bioactive content of six passion fruit genotypes cultivated in southern Brazil

Passion fruit production in Brazil is concentrated tropical regions, however, recently has expanded to regions with temperate climate. Cultivar performance different climate and soil can lead variation the contents of bioactive compounds juice rind fruit. This study characterized content passion six genotypes (‘Catarina Roxo’, ‘Catarina’, ‘Urussanga’, ‘BRS Gigante Amarelo’, Rubi do Cerrado’, Sol Cerrado’) cultivated southern Brazil. Phenolic, flavonoid, anthocyanin, carotenoid, ascorbic acid antioxidant potential each portion from genotype were evaluated. Fruit composition varied evaluated tissue. Bioactive compound greatest ‘Urussanga’ whereas Cerrado’ ‘Catarina Roxo’ had content. Given cultivar tissue variability for content, postharvest use will determine choice obtain a product maximum compounds. this have shown be sources explored scientific technological scope, due its high amounts phenolic activity.
