Item Capacidad antioxidante de la semilla de aguacate (Persea Americana Mill) variedad Hass en distintos grados de germinación(Univerisad Santiago de Cali, 2020) Rodriguez Sanchez, Yuly; Ramirez Navas, Juan SebastiánThe avocado seed has in its chemical composition active phytocomposites; but the food industry has been limited only to the use of pulp, discarding the avocado seed. Increasing volumes of this agroindustrial remnant are expected to be generated inevitably; as a result of the growing interest in products derived from the fruit. In this study, the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity in 4 stages of avocado germination were analyzed using spectrophotometric reference methods. The total phenolic content was determined by an internal reference material of gallic acid. The antioxidant activity is referred to as the stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhydrazil. The results obtained show that the antioxidant capacity increases in each stage of germination.
