A. aBreeding apples with potential antioxidante capacity.h[electronic resource] c2015 aThe apple production in Brazil is improving year by year. About 85 % of apple consumption is based on in natura fruits and 15 % go to industry. The healthy foods around the world have a market estimated on about 60 billions of dollars, and its promotion to health and wellness brings lots of opportunities to Brazilian industries of food. The Epagri?s Apple Breeding Program has released many new apple cultivars along the last 43 years, with good advances on germplasm with antioxidant potential (no browning on flesh fruits). The objective of this study was evaluate phenols content, activity of polyphenol oxidase enzyme (DPPH) and the vitamin C content on two cultivars (Prim??cia and Monalisa) and two selection from Epagri?s Apple Breeding Program, comparing skin and flesh of fruits. The evaluations were performed at Pharmacy Laboratory of UNIARP University, in Ca??ador-SC. All samples showed values of phenols content higher in the skin than in the flesh of fruits. Regarding the skin of fruits, the phenols content varied from 54,3 (170/30) to 73,8 mcg mL-1 (170/37). In the flesh of fruits these values of phenols content varied from 10,4 (Monalisa) to 46,8 mcg mL-1 (Prim??cia). The activity of polyphenol oxidase enzyme showed opposite behavior compared to the phenols content data ie higher enzyme activity in the flesh than in the skin of fruits. The pre-selection 170/30 presented the lowest DPPH (40,9 %), while the cv. Monalisa showed the highest value (52,1 %). The vitamin C contents showed similar behavior to the phenol content data ie higher in the skin of fruits than in flesh of fruits. The samples with highest phenols and vitamin C contents have presented the lower DPPH enzyme activity. aAntioxidant aApple Breeding aMalus domestica aVitamin C1 aFRANZEN, J.
