Abstract

The objective of the research was to evaluate the variation in color parameters, represented by the L*, a* and b* values of the CIELAB scale, in different stages of maturation of Solanum quitoense and its relationship with antioxidant activity. 14 naranjilla samples in different stages of ripening were analyzed. Antioxidant activity was measured by the FRAP assay and the statistical influence of color parameters on antioxidant activity was evaluated by analysis of variance. In addition, response surface methodology was used to identify the optimal values of L*, a* and b* that maximized antioxidant activity. The results showed significant statistical differences (p<0.05) in antioxidant activity for L*, a* and b*. The optimal conditions identified to maximize antioxidant activity were L* = 66.38, a* = 34.36 and b* = 21.11, achieving an antioxidant activity of 31.12 mg Eq. Trolox/100 g. These findings highlight the importance of color analysis as an indicator of antioxidant quality in naranjilla and offer valuable information to improve its marketing and processing.
