Phytochemical characterization and antioxidant activity of polar extracts from fruits of Coccoloba uvifera L.
Keywords:
fitoquímica; actividad antioxidante; extractos polares; fenoles totales.Abstract
The qualitative phytochemical composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of ethanolic and
aqueous extracts of Coccoloba uvifera L. fruits collected in the municipalities of Manzanillo,
Niquero and Pilón were evaluated. The results show similarity in the composition of the
extracts from the three areas studied and the ethanolic extracts of Manzanillo fruits have the
greatest diversity of secondary metabolites; being the most abundant alkaloids, phenols,
coumarins and reducing carbohydrates. The in vitro antioxidant activity was estimated by the
Total Antioxidant Capacity and the Iron Reducing Power and the higher value of the ethanolic
extracts can be associated with the higher content of total phenols determined by the Folin
Ciocalteu method. The results make the fruit a potential source of antioxidants and constitute
the first report on the composition and antioxidant activity of polar extracts from the fruit of
C. uvifera in Cuba.
