RESUMO

The observation that the plants have biologically active substances, mainly polyphenols, that provide benefits to health, has driven studies on the antioxidant property. Thus, considering that the agri-industrial waste from acerola also contains phenolic compounds, this study was carried out to determine the procedure for extraction of polyphenols and the antioxidant activity of their extracts. Hyidroacetone, hydroethanolic, hydromethanolic and aqueous extracts, obtained by sequential extraction procedure, combining three extraction cycles (20 minutes each one) and two temperatures (25 2C and 50 2C), were submitted to the determination of total phenolic and screened for their free DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhidrazil) and ABTS+ (2,2 -azino-bis-(3-etilbenzotiazolina 6-sulfonic acid) scavenging activity and their effect on the linoleic acid peroxidation by the ferric thiocyanate method.Soybean oil with the addition of the extracts (200ppm) were submitted to anaccelerated storage test in an oven at 60C for 28 days, where sample were taken at time intervals and analyzed for peroxide value and conjugated dienes. The extracts showed high content of total polyphenols; however, the hydroacetone extract exhibited the highest total phenolic content (5,954.2 μg catechin equivalent. mL-1). Hydroethanolic and hydromethanolic extracts exhibited good DPPH scavenging activity (low value of EC50 and TEC50, high value of EA), good ABTS+ scavenging capacity (1.445,1 e 1.145,5μMol TEAC/g, respectively), high percentage of inhibition of peroxidation of linoleic acid (96.12% and 91.84%, respectively). These extracts showed the ability to retard the formation of peroxides and conjugated dienes in soybean oil. The procedure involves aqueous-organic solvents, three cycles of extraction and temperature of 25C is effective in the extraction of phenolic compounds. Although, the hydroacetone extract has exhibited the highest total phenolic content, the antioxidant action of this extract was less than shown by hydroethanolic and hydromethanolic extracts that, under the experimental conditions, exhibited the best antioxidant activity, both in model system and in soybean oil. Therefore, the agri-industrial waste from acerola can be considered as a source of natural antioxidants and can be useful in food applications in replace or in association with synthetic antioxidants.
