There are no studies showing the antioxidant activities of the
co-products obtained from exotic fruit in general and the exotic
fruit studied here in particular. However there are numerous studies
where the antioxidant activities of fresh exotic fruit have been
determined. Thus, Beserra Almeida et al. (2011) reported that the
antioxidant activities of some exotic fruit from Brazil such as tamarind
(Tamarindus indica), papaya (Carica papaya) or murici (Byrsonima
crassifolia) were 8.3, 7.6 and 15.6 lM TE/g sample (fresh
weight), respectively, as measured with the ABTS assay, while
the DPPH assay gave values of 2.0; 2.2 and 6.5 lM TE/g sample
(fresh weight), respectively. Vasco et al. (2008) showed that the
antioxidant activity, as measured using the DPPH assay, of some
