Abstract
Pharmaceutical research currently focuses on methods that allow for more sustainable and natural approaches. In this way, the use of discarded by-products, such as avocado seed, becomes a profitable and sustainable practice.
This study evaluated the extraction of phytochemicals from avocado seed (Soxhlet extraction) and compared the antioxidant capacity of avocado seed (DPPH method). The extraction found compounds of different hydrophobicity and a vast amount of compounds that may present the potential for future clinical trials.
Avocado extract presented an antioxidant effect (AA%) more effective than Quercetin (3.5%), Ascorbic Acid (2.8%,) and lightly lower than Rutin (-1.9%).
Therefore, the avocado seed can be an excellent alternative for research of antioxidants and therapeutic phytochemicals.
期刊介绍：
Current Organocatalysis is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant research in all areas of organocatalysis. The journal covers organo homogeneous/heterogeneous catalysis, innovative mechanistic studies and kinetics of organocatalytic processes focusing on practical, theoretical and computational aspects. It also includes potential applications of organocatalysts in the fields of drug discovery, synthesis of novel molecules, synthetic method development, green chemistry and chemoenzymatic reactions. This journal also accepts papers on methods, reagents, and mechanism of a synthetic process and technology pertaining to chemistry. Moreover, this journal features full-length/mini review articles within organocatalysis and synthetic chemistry. It is the premier source of organocatalysis and synthetic methods related information for chemists, biologists and engineers pursuing research in industry and academia.
