“…Moreover, it is higher than the result found by Ortíz et al (2006) (2006) and Schwartz et al (2008), that were 575.0 mg/kg; 541.8 mg/kg; 666.0 mg/kg; 575.0 mg/kg; 671.0 mg/kg and 590.0 mg/kg, respectively. In relation to the gammatocopherol concentration, it was noted that the value found in our paper was higher than the value found in the literature (Ortíz et al, 2006;Branco, 2009;Monge-Rojas & Campos, 2011;Lechner et al, 1999;Barrera-Arellano et al, 2002;Franke et al, 2007;Gliszczyńska-Świgło et al, 2007;Kamal-Eldin, 2006;Schwartz et al, 2008).…”

“…The concentration of alpha-tocopherol found in the canola oil was lower than the value displayed on the food table composition of the United States Department of Agriculture (2008) conducted in Costa Rica (25.0 mg/kg) (Monge-Rojas & Campos, 2011). The concentration of gamma-tocopherol in the soybean oil was lower than the values found in the literature and higher to that result found in Costa Rica (210.0 mg/kg) (Ahmed et al, 2005;Guinazi et al, 2009;Branco, 2009;Monge-Rojas & Campos, 2011;Barrera-Arellano et al, 2002;Gliszczyńska-Świgło et al, 2007;Kamal-Eldin, 2006;Lima & Gonçalves, 1997;Carvalho et al, 2008).…”

“…Charoensiri [40] reported non-detectable of α-tocopherol in ripe papaya. On the other hand, Monge-Rojas and Campos [42] detected 0.3 mg/100 g and 0.1 mg/100 g of α-tocopherol respectively in ripe papaya. As for β-carotene, its concentration increased in proportion to the ripeness and such of this change tendency does also agree in this study where α-tocopherol approaches its maximum level in the ripe papaya.…”

This study aimed to characterize the different parts of Carica papaya (ripe and unripe papaya, leaves and seed), through their proximate composition, total antioxidant activity, and in vitro antiproliferative activities. Both macronutrients and micronutrients were determined using standard AOAC methods of analysis, while vitamin analyses were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Results showed that the ripe papaya had the highest antioxidant activity (84.04%) followed by unripe papaya (81.35%), leaves (78.03%) and the least was seed (75.35%).The phenolic content was in the order of leaves>unripe papaya>ripe papaya>seed. HPLC analysis showed that papaya leaves exhibited the highest ascorbic acid and β-carotene content (85.60 and 3.86 mg/100 g respectively), while the seeds had the highest Vitamin E content (4.09 mg/100 g). Results obtained from cytotoxic activities showed that MCF-7 (hormone dependent breast cancer) and MDA-MB-231 (non-hormone dependent breast cancer) cell cultures were significantly inhibited by the extract. The antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of different parts papaya extracts indicate that the consumption of the whole fruit, ripe and unripe papaya, leaves and the seed supplies the important quantities of numerous necessary nutrients for human diet which includes vitamins A, C and E.

High levels of β-carotene, lycopene, and the rare γ-carotene occur predominantly lipid-dissolved in the chromoplasts of peach palm fruits. First proof of their absorption from these fruits is reported. The structural diversity, the physical deposition state in planta, and the human bioavailability of carotenoids from the edible fruits of diverse orange and yellow-colored peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) varieties were investigated. HPLC-PDA-MS(n) revealed a broad range of carotenes, reaching total carotenoid levels from 0.7 to 13.9 mg/100 g FW. Besides the predominant (all-E)-β-carotene (0.4-5.4 mg/100 g FW), two (Z)-isomers of γ-carotene (0.1-3.9 mg/100 g FW), and one (Z)-lycopene isomer (0.04-0.83 mg/100 g FW) prevailed. Approximately 89-94 % of total carotenoid content pertained to provitamin A carotenoids with retinol activity equivalents ranging from 37 to 609 µg/100 g FW. The physical deposition state of these carotenoids in planta was investigated using light, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopy. The plastids found in both orange and yellow-colored fruit mesocarps were amylo-chromoplasts of the globular type, containing carotenoids predominantly in a lipid-dissolved form. The hypothesis of lipid-dissolved carotenoids was supported by simple solubility estimations based on carotenoid and lipid contents of the fruit mesocarp. In our study, we report first results on the human bioavailability of γ-carotene, β-carotene, and lycopene from peach palm fruit, particularly proving the post-prandial absorption of the rarely occurring γ-carotene. Since the physical state of carotenoid deposition has been shown to be decisive for carotenoid bioavailability, lipid-dissolved carotenoids in peach palm fruits are expected to be highly bioavailable, however, further studies are required.
