The physicochemical properties, including nutrient and bioactive compound compositions, in fruit of four creole avocados (CA) from Mexico were determined and compared with those of 'Hass' fruit. 'Hass' pulp and some CA pulps contained similar concentrations of lutein, chlorophyll a, β-sitosterol and α-tocopherol. CA pulp contained 3.91-9.55% more oil than 'Hass'. Oil from CA pulp contained 10.10-26.79% more oleic acid than 'Hass' pulp. However, CA were small (CA = 81.40-137.15 g, 'Hass' = 188.59 g) and their pulp contents were low (CA = 39.83-84.82 g, 'Hass' = 144.14 g). CA peels were very thin, making these avocado peels edible but prone to mechanical damage. CA peels also contained higher concentrations and greater diversity of anthocyanins and glycosylated quercetin compounds than 'Hass' peels. Some CA were particularly rich in mannoheptulose and perseitol. Consumption of CA, including their peel, might result in higher intakes of some nutrients and bioactive compounds compared with 'Hass' avocados.
四种墨西哥克里奥罗鳄梨（CA）和‘哈斯’鳄梨果实的理化特性、营养成分和生物活性化合物组成进行了测定，并进行了比较。‘哈斯’果肉和一些 CA 果肉含有相似浓度的叶黄素、叶绿素 a、β-谷甾醇和α-生育酚。CA 果肉的含油量比‘哈斯’高 3.91-9.55%。CA 果肉油中的油酸含量比‘哈斯’果肉油高 10.10-26.79%。然而，CA 果实较小（CA = 81.40-137.15g，‘哈斯’= 188.59g），果肉含量较低（CA = 39.83-84.82g，‘哈斯’= 144.14g）。CA 果皮很薄，使这些鳄梨果皮可食用，但容易受到机械损伤。CA 果皮还含有更高浓度和更多种类的花色苷和糖苷化槲皮素化合物，比‘哈斯’果皮含量高。一些 CA 特别富含甘露庚酮糖和松醇。与‘哈斯’鳄梨相比，食用 CA 及其果皮可能会导致某些营养成分和生物活性化合物的摄入量增加。
