Santos, Sonia A. O.; Vilela, Carla; Camacho, Joao F.; Cordeiro, Nereida; Gouveia, Manuela; Freire, Carmen S. R.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.The lipophilic and phenolic extractives of the ripe mesocarp of four cherimoya cultivars ('Perry Vidal', 'Mateus I', 'Mateus III' and 'Funchal') from Madeira Island, were studied for the first time. The predominant lipophilic compounds are kaurene diterpenes (42.2-59.6%), fatty acids (18.0-35.6%) and sterols (9.6-23.7%). Kaur-16-en-19-oic acid is the major lipophilic component of all cultivars accounting betwee...

Vilela, Carla; Santos, Sonia A. O.; Oliveira, Lucia; Camacho, Joao F.; Cordeiro, Nereida; Freire, Carmen S. R.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.The chemical composition of the lipophilic extracts of the ripe pulp of mangoes from twelve cultivars of Mangifera indica L from Madeira Island was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the first time. The ripe pulp of these mango cultivars showed analogous amounts of lipophilic extractives, as well as similar qualitative chemical compositions. The predominant compounds were free and ...
