Ethanol extracts of powdered genipap (Genipa americana L.), umbu (Spondia tuberosa A.) and siriguela
(Spondia purpurea L.) prepared from separate pulp, seeds and peel were investigated for their (i) antioxidant
capacity, which was evaluated by various known methods; (ii) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity;
and (iii) cytotoxic effect on corneal epithelial cells of sheep. The highest values of total phenolic content
were obtained with peel and seed extracts. Siriguela and umbu (seeds and peel) extracts displayed the
highest antioxidant activities.
