Palabras clave: Averrhoa carambola, fruta, propiedades antioxidantes

Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar las propiedades nutricionales y antioxidante del fruto y la hoja del árbol averrhoa carambola cultivado en la zona 4, Ecuador, para lo cual se utilizaron métodos biométricos, químicos y bioquímicos para determinar características fenotípicas del fruto y para determinar capacidad y compuestos antioxidantes en el fruto y en las hojas del árbol. La propiedad nutricional de la fruta estuvo evidenciada por el alto contenido de carbohidratos y vitamina C; por lo tanto, los productos derivados de la averrhoa carambola pueden constituir un buen componente nutricional y medicinal en la población humana.
