In Peru, there are few reports of characterization of the huasaí fruit of the Euterpe precatoria Mart. (EP) and Euterpe oleracea Mart. (EO) as well as the values of phenolic compounds. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to evaluate the bromatological composition and phenolic antioxidants present in the integral pulp (pulp and skin) of fruits of the two species of Peruvian Amazonian huasaí. The fruits of EO were obtained from the Research Center of Natural Resources - CIRNA, while the fruits of EP were purchased from a local producer in the city of Nauta. The pulp and skin of the fruits were manually separated for further characterization analysis (weight, longitudinal measurement, transverse measurement and yield); Physicochemical (acidity, pH, ° Brix); proximal (humidity, ash, fat, proteins, crude fiber, carbohydrates and energy) and mineral content (P, Na, Fe, Ca, Zn, K). Phytochemical screening and analysis of phenolic antioxidants (total phenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and condensed tannins) were also carried out. The integral pulp of EO presented significantly higher values in % acidity, % protein, total carbohydrates, and energy, when compared to EP. The crude fiber content in both pulps was greater than 50%, being 56.3% (EP) vs. 52.4% (EO) respectively. Likewise, considerable values of Sodium, Potassium, Phosphorus were found in the integral pulps of both fruits. On the other hand, the presence of phenolic compounds of antioxidant character was corroborated, highlighting the anthocyanins and the total phenolic compounds in both pulps. These results indicate that the integral pulps of huasai fruits have great potential as nutraceutical or functional.
