According to several authors, content of antioxidant compounds
and antioxidant activity are particularly high in the peel of some
fruits (Ajila et al., 2007; Kunradi Vieira et al., 2009). In this paper,
significant levels of antioxidant compound contents are reported
in the freeze-dried peel of three tropical fruits cultivated in Yucatan,
Mexico (Table 1). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences
(P 6 0.05) in the content of antioxidant compounds of
the different fruit peel samples under study
