Teixeira Godoy H, B. Rodriguez-Amaya D. Carotenoid composition of Brazilian nectarine (Prunus persica). Rev Inst Adolfo Lutz [Internet]. 1998 Jun. 30 [cited 2026 Aug. 17];57(1):73-9. Available from: https://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/RIAL/article/view/36624
Abstract
The carotenoid composition of nectarine (Prunus persica) was determined for the first time. Eleven carotenoids were identified: 13-cis-carotene, trans-carotene, 9-cis-carotene, trans-E;-carotene, neo-cryptoxanthin, trans- cryptoxanthin, trans-Iutein, trans-zeaxanthin, transviolaxanthin, trans-mutatoxanthin and trans-auroxanthin. The principal carotenoid was trans-cryptoxanthin (3.9 ± 0.7 ug/g), accounting for 40.6 % ofthe total carotenoid content (9.6 ± 0.7 ug/g), followed by trans-zeaxanthin (1.6 ± 0.3 ug/g), trans-Iutein (J.1 ± 0.2 ug/g) and trans-carotene (1.0 ±O.2 ug/g). The vitamin A value, provided by -cryptoxanthin and-carotene eis and trans isomers, was 54 ± 5 RE/lOO g. The carotenoid composition of nectarine resembled that of peach; this is understandable since both fruits belong to the same family.
