“…The composition of avocado seed includes protein, fat, ash, moisture, fiber and carbohydrate, minerals such as Ca, Zn, K, Na, P, Fe, Cu, Pb and Co) phytochemicals (flavinoid, tanine, saponine, total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, oxalates, phytates and alkaloids) and vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, C and E). The avocado seeds have antioxidant and antimicrobial, antihypertensive, fungicidal, larvicidal, hypolipidemic, amoebicidal and giardicidal activities [76].…”

Background: Since 2019, several critical effects of the coronavirus pandemic have surfaced, including its psychological problems such as depression. The World Health Organization has approved a group of drugs and vaccines. However, the world still faces novel coronavirus mutations, requiring more ideas to investigate a drug, vaccine and phytochemical potential chemoprevention proposal. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 co-operates directly with the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) to penetrate the target cells.Aims: We aim to introduce the possibility of studying seed oil extract as an anti-depression, anti-stress, anti-epinephrine receptor (PDB: 2rh1) and as potentially binding anti-angiotensinconverting enzyme 2 (ACE2) agent.

“…For example, for avocado seeds: moisture values 5.3% -34.3%, protein 1.3% -17.9%, ash. 2.4% -3.8%, fat 0.3% -16.5%, fiber 2.8% -26.3% and carbohydrates 44.7% -80.1% (Bahru, Tadele, & Ajebe, 2019;Ejiofor, Ezeagu, Ayoola, & Umera, 2018). In the case of peels the ranges are moisture 65% -76%, ash 0.8% -1.6%, protein 1.5% -6.3%, fat 2.8% -11%, fiber 6.9% -58% (Saavedra et al, 2017;Morais et al, 2015;Gondim, Moura, Dantas, Medeiros, & Santos, 2005).…”

Seed and peel avocado (Persea Americana) are agro-industrial residues whose structure presents an important quantity of source of polyphenolic components which can be obtained by various extraction methods. Response surface methodology (RSM) and the artificial neural network (ANN) were used to model and optimize the conditions of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) (25 W/L) with respect to temperature (40-60 °C), concentration of ethanol/water (30%-60%) and extraction time (40-80 min) in obtaining phenolic from avocado residues. RSM and ANN allowed finding an optimal phenolic content for seeds (145.170-146.569 mg GAE/g; 49 °C, 41.2% and 65.5-65.1 min) and peels (124.050-125.187 mg GAE/g; 50.9 °C, 49.5% and 61.8 min). The models estimated between predicted and experimental values were significant (p < 0.05), presenting a high correlation (R 2 > 0.9907) and a low root mean square error for the prediction of phenolics (RMSE < 0.9437 mg GAE/g). The results of this study allow the design of efficient, economic and ecologically friendly extraction procedures in the industry for obtaining bioactive metabolites from avocado residues.

“…Thus, the other part such as the seeds hasn't been utilized to the maximum. Avocado seeds to this day have only been disposed as waste [2]. It was reported that avocado seed is useful for decreasing blood glucose level, treating thrush, kidney stone, high blood pressure, neuralgia, gastralgia, swelling of the respiratory tract, irregular menstruation, toothache, also can be used as moisturizer [2][3].…”

“…Avocado seeds contain very high (23%) starch substances, so that the seedscan be utilized as an alternative source of starch. In addition, avocado seeds have a hypoglycemic effect, an antidiabetic effect through its ability to reduce glucose levels in blood [2]. Avocado seeds are rich of phenolic compounds that serves as an antioxidant [3][4].…”

Avocado seeds are waste that can be utilized by the community while the seeds are only disposed of as waste. Avocado seeds have a hypoglycemic effect, an antidiabetic effect through its ability to reduce blood glucose levels and contain high enough starch by 23%. The high starch content allows the use of avocado seeds into flour. The avocado seed flour produced will be applied for making donuts, cookies and simulation chips. The aim of this Community Service is to provide knowledge to the women cadres group and mothers in the hope of being able to turn avocado seeds into avocado seed flour and be processed into snack foods such as cookies, donuts and simulated chips. Management of Community Service is carried out in Dalu Sepuluh-B Village, Tanjung Morawa Sub-district. The Community Service method is by demonstration and training so that women group and mothers are able and skilled at making avocado seed flour into donuts, cookies and simulated chips. The results of community service activities are that participants of the cadre group and PKK mothers have known the benefits of avocado seed flour and have been skilled in making processed products from avocado seed flour that can be applied in the community so that it can improve the degree of public health.
