| Abstract: | Puçá fruits are native to the Cerrado biome yet little explored, presenting different varieties with distinct fruit peel colors. Although puçá fruits have been known to exhibit a good source of bioactive compounds, the phenolic profile of some varieties remains unknown. Based on this context, our research aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and bioactive compounds and characterize for the first time the phenolic profile in yellow puçá, brown puçá, and black puçá by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC–DAD). The three puçá varieties contained considerable quantities of important food constituents, such as high concentrations of vitamin C, carotenoids and phenolic compounds. These fruits are mostly composed of phenolic acids, with p-coumaric acid being the major compound in all varieties, while ellagic acid was detected only in the brown puçá. Moreover, (−)-epicatechin was found only in the yellow puçá. This study is the first to report the identification of the phenolic profile in puçá. Moreover, our data indicate that the three fruit varieties present a promising chemical composition, suggesting that they may serve as potential sources of natural antioxidants. In addition, these findings can contribute to the establishment of puçá as a novel ingredient for formulations with functional claims. |
