Resumo: Ethanol extracts of “jenipapo” (Genipa americana Linnaeus), “umbu" (Spondia tuberosa Arruda), “siriguela” (Spondia purpurea Linnaeus) and “mangaba” (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) were prepared from separate pulp, seeds and peel; except mangaba which are used pulp and peel. The investigation of antioxidant capacity of the ethanol extracts were carried out by the methods of determining the content of ascorbic acid and total phenolics; scavenging 2, 2 -diphenyl-1-picrilhydrazyl and 2, 2’- azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical, antioxidant capacity of reduction of iron and copper and lipid peroxidation using a biomimetic membrane system, and measurement enzymatic of catalase and superoxide dismutase. It was also analyzed the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, cytotoxic effect on corneal epithelial cells of sheep, as well as phytochemicals assays and identification of phenolic compounds and organic acids present in the extracts by UPLC - MS. The highest values of total phenolic content were obtained with peel and seed extracts and to ascorbic acid in the seed of siriguela, showing better antioxidant activities of seeds and peel extracts of siriguela and umbu. Lipid peroxidation assays indicated that genipap pulp is a promising antioxidant. Genipap pulp and siriguela seed ethanol extracts presented an acetylcholinesterase inhibition zone similar to that of the positive control, carbachol. The investigation of phenols and organic acid contents revealed the presence of quercetin (48,38 to 3,88 μg.g-1), quinic acid (43,28 to 41,88 μg.g-1) and citric acid (3,78 to 0,43 μg.g-1) in several extracts and chlorogenic acid with the highest amount found in siriguela seeds (356,93 μg.g-1). These data suggest new uses for these foods as potential antioxidant supplements for the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
