Annona cherimola Mill., commonly known as cherimoya, is a tropical fruit well known due to its tasty flavour. In the present study the antioxidant activity of pulp, peel and seeds of four cultivars from A. cherimola Mill. from Madeira Island (Madeira, Funchal, Perry Vidal and Mateus II) was analysed. Moreover, nutritional composition (proximates and vitamins) and bioactive compounds content were determined. The peel of Madeira cultivar showed the highest antioxidant capacity, with an EC50 of 0.97mg/mL, and total flavonoids (44.7 epicatechin equivalents/100g). The most abundant carotenoid was lutein, with values ranging from 129 to 232μg/100g. The highest l-ascorbic acid content (4.41mg/100g) was found in the peel of Perry Vidal cultivar. These results highlight A. cherimola Mill. antioxidant properties, especially in its by-products and encourage their application in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food processing industries, as added value natural extracts.
番荔枝（Annona cherimola Mill.），通常被称为番荔枝果，是一种因其美味而闻名的热带水果。在本研究中，分析了来自马德拉岛的四个番荔枝品种（马德拉、丰沙尔、佩里·维达尔和马特乌斯二世）的果肉、果皮和种子的抗氧化活性。此外，还测定了营养成分（近似成分和维生素）以及生物活性化合物的含量。马德拉品种的果皮显示出最高的抗氧化能力，其半数有效浓度（EC50）为0.97mg/mL，总黄酮含量为（44.7表儿茶素当量/100g）。最丰富的类胡萝卜素是叶黄素，含量范围为129至232μg/100g。在佩里·维达尔品种的果皮中发现了最高的l-抗坏血酸含量（4.41mg/100g）。这些结果突出了番荔枝的抗氧化特性，尤其是其副产品的抗氧化特性，并鼓励将其作为具有附加值的天然提取物应用于化妆品、制药和食品加工行业。
