“…In fact, these fragments were not found in zeaxanthin isomers but were found in free lutein isomers (peaks 1, 2, 4 and 5) and in lutein 3 -O-monoesters regioisomers (peaks 7b, 8 and 11). Indeed, MS/MS fragment ions corresponding to these losses with an additional loss of one water molecule (m/z 477 [M + H-18-18-56] + and m/z 411) were found in lutein 3-O-monoesters (peaks 7c, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 17) and diesters (peaks 22b, [23][24][25][26][27][29][30][31]. Similar fragmentation patterns of lutein esters were observed by Ziegler et al [22] in whole grain flours from 75 wheat genotypes.…”

“…It is noteworthy that no monoesters could be tentatively identified before the two-step cleanup procedure. Among the 35 identified or tentatively identified compounds, 6 were free carotenoids (peaks 1-5 and 14), 14 were carotenoid monoesters (peaks 6-13, 15-17 and 22a) and 15 were carotenoid diesters (peaks 18-21, 22b, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…The reason is that the hydroxyl groups in the xanthophyll molecules are usually found acylated with one or two equal or different fatty acids. Eight different fatty acids (caproic, caprylic, capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic and oleic acids) were found acylated with xanthophylls in six tropical fruits from Panama [24]. Fatty acids with very short acyl chains, such as butyric and caproic acids, were found constituting the carotenoid esters of mango fruits from Brazil and Mexico [25,26].…”

“…In Panama several fruit species have not yet been considered for their intact carotenoid composition. Following our first study on the intact carotenoid profile of some tropical fruits [29], the objective of this study was to report for the first time on the intact carotenoid profile of membrillo (Gustavia superba Berg), guanabana toreta (Annona purpurea Moc. and Sessé), jobo (Spondias mombin L.) and mamey (Mammea americana L.) fruits from Panama.…”

-Introduction. Many tropical fruits have great health potential due to the possible presence of bioactive phytochemicals. Natural food composition databases are very important sources of information relative to natural food biodiversity and nutritional properties. The objective of this study was to report for the first time on the native carotenoid composition of the fruit of four tropical species from Panama. Materials and methods. Fully mature fruit were collected in Panama and analyzed by HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS, after carotenoid extraction with acetone. Results and discussion. The carotenoid composition had never been previously reported for two of the investigated fruits, membrillo (Gustavia superba) and guanabana toreta (Annona purpurea). In membrillo, 5 different carotenoids were detected; the content of total carotenoids was 318.6 µg g −1 fresh weight (fw), with β-carotene showing a relative abundance of 75.3%. In guanabana toreta, 11 different carotenoids were detected; the total carotenoid content was 48.3 µg g −1 fw, with β-carotene and zeaxanthin showing a relative abundance of 26.9% and 27.5%, respectively. In jobo (Spondias mombin), 11 different carotenoids were detected; the total carotenoid content was 45.8 µg g −1 fw, with β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene and β-carotene showing a relative abundance of 25.4%, 10.5% and 8.5%, respectively. In mamey (Mammea americana), 16 different carotenoids were detected; the total carotenoid content was 145.2 µg g −1 fw; in particular, 10 different violaxanthin fatty acid diesters, of both cis and trans isomers, were determined. Conclusion. The consumption of the fruit studied should be promoted both locally and abroad, because of the reported presence of these health-promoting phytochemicals.Keywords: Panama / membrillo (Gustavia superba) / guanabana toreta (Annona purpurea) / jobo (Spondias mombin) / mamey (Mammea americana) / carotenoids / HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS Résumé -Étude de la composition des fruits du membrillo (Gustavia superba), de l'atier (Annona purpurea), du prunier mombin (Spondias mombin) et de l'abricotier des Antilles (Mammea Americana). Introduction. Nombreux sont les fruits tropicaux à fort potentiel pour la santé en fonction de la présence de substances phytochimiques bioactives. Les bases de données sur la composition des aliments naturels sont des sources d'information de première importance pour caractériser la diversité alimentaire naturelle et ses propriétés nutritionnelles. L'objectif de cette étude est de décrire, pour la première fois, la composition en caroténoïdes natifs des fruits de quatre espèces tropicales natives au Panama. Matériels et méthodes. Les fruits récoltés à pleine maturité au Panama ont été analysés par méthode HPLC-DAD-APCI-MS après extraction des caroténoïdes à l'acétone. Résultats et discussion. La composition en caroténoïdes n'avait jamais été signalée auparavant pour deux espèces étudiées, le membrillo (Gustavia superba) et l'atier (Annona purpurea). Dans les fruits du membrillo, 5 caroténoïdes différents ont été détec...

“…On the other hand, Ferreira et al [18] investigated the total carotenoids of refined oil, obtained by cold pressing and Soxhlet, and the reported carotenoid content was 2.3, 4.6 and 19.7 µg/g oil, respectively. Carotenoids are known as responsible for many functional properties as antioxidant activity, prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, macular degeneration and in some cases pro-vitamin A [19]. Recent studies have reported the presence of phenolic compounds in passion fruit seeds.…”

This work presents a review on the composition and extraction techniques for recovering phytochemicals from passion fruit by-products. The review approaches on the characteristics of each phytochemical and its benefits to human health. It was observed that the by-products of passion fruit contain a range of interesting substances, and for their recovery the application of environmentally friendly extraction techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), are suggested as single or sequential procedures. The future perspectives of this review encourage the application of these techniques to a complete recovery of passion fruit by-products.
