“…La curuba tiene cantidades moderadas de carbohidratos, pero considerables micronutrientes, como vitaminas C, A y riboflavina; minerales como el potasio, fósforo, magnesio, sodio, cloro, hierro (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11); y compuestos fenólicos secundarios, como flavonoides, así como carotenoides (12)(13)(14). Adicionalmente, tiene una importante actividad antioxidante, evaluada in vitro con base en su capacidad para neutralizar radical peroxilo (ORAC -oxygen radical absorbance capacity), reducir hierro (FRAP -ferric reducing antioxidant power) nutritional and antioxidant characteristics of banana passion fruit (Passiflora mollissima Bailey) y neutralizar radicales orgánicos (DPPH -2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil) (9,12,15), propiedad que podría contribuir a reducir el daño celular causado por el estrés oxidativo relacionado con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles.…”
