Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Aiming the valorisation of the fruit of Cereus jamacaru D.C. (mandacaru), from the Caatinga biome, the physicochemical and nutritional parameters, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of its raw pulp and skin were evaluated. Extracts of the lyophilised pulp (PE) and skin (SE) of this fruit were also characterised for their antioxidant capacity parameters, phenolic compounds and for the semi-quantitative elemental analysis of minerals. From the total carbohydrates of the pulp (13.43 g/100 g, in the fresh basis), 79% was composed by total dietary fibre and, from this fraction, 89% was insoluble dietary fibre. The total antioxidant capacity of the raw skin was about 1.5-fold higher than that of the raw pulp, while the improvement of phenolic content in the lyophilised PE and SE was by 5- and 36-folds, respectively, compared with their respective raw samples (fresh basis). The lyophilised SE had the higher antioxidant capacity, requiring only 3.79 g to scavenge 1 g of DPPH radicals. Frequencies of functional groups assessed through the FT-IR spectrum corroborates with the presence of phenolic compounds in the samples. Potassium was the predominant mineral in both PE and SE. These results indicate that mandacaru, currently consumed only locally, can be an important source of nutrients and antioxidants for the general population and also for industrial use.
