Phytochemical Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of the Pulp of Two Brazilian Passion Fruit Species: <i>Passiflora Cincinnata</i> Mast. And <i>Passiflora Edulis</i> Sims

About 600 species of Passiflora are described around the world, which 120 native to Brazil. In present work, phytochemical compounds were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, and antioxidant activities (AOX) measured in pulp P. edulis cincinnata species. The presented a higher bioactive content AOX when compared cincinnata. Citric malic acids main organic found. principal component analysis-PCA associated highest values quercetin-3-glucoside, hesperidin, trans-caftaric acid, chlorogenic caffeic p-coumaric trans-resveratrol, rutin, procyanidin-B2, epigallocatechin-gallate epicatechin-gallate, was with total phenolic, vitamin C, carotenoids, (DPPH•, ABTS+• FRAP), cis-resveratrol, naringenin, kaempferol-3-glucoside, myricetin procyanidin-B1. cincinnata, although not commercial such as edulis, phenolic activity acceptable values, including high quercetin 3-glucoside. study contributes knowledge physical-chemical composition
