Acerola
Acerola is considered an excellent source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and in ripe fruits, levels are normally between 1,000 and 2,000 mg of ascorbic acid/100g of pulp, depending on the cultivar and the climatic conditions of the cultivation region. In addition, the acerola varieties that produce red or purple fruits are rich in anthocyanins, a red pigment present in the fruit’s peel, which, like vitamin C, has an antioxidant function in the human body. Acerola is also a reasonable source of provitamin A and contains B vitamins such as thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3), and minerals such as calcium, iron and phosphorus, although their levels are low. It has a high pulp yield and has numerous uses, with high potential for processed products and the pharmaceutical industry. Frozen pasteurized pulp and pasteurized juice are the main commercially exploited fruit products. The fact that it is a low-calorie food, compared to other fruit juices, has increased the value of the product in the market and caused an increase in consumption. On a smaller scale, acerola is also used in the manufacture of products such as nectars, jellies, freeze-dried products, preserves, liqueurs, wines, ice cream, syrups, candies and added to other fruit juices (blends) for enrichment with vitamin C.
