The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized
design with two treatments (unripe and ripe) and six replicates
with 25 fruits, approximately 115 g each. The data were submitted
to t-test, at 1% and 5% probability, by getting the average and standard
deviation for each maturity stage. To determine if the bioactive
compounds and enzyme contributed to the total antioxidant
activity, it was calculated the correlation coefficients of Pearson
at 1% and 5% probability, using BioEstatística 5.0.
