According to reports analyzed, we suggest that the fruits of camu camu, containing ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in concentrations greater than 2000 mg / 100g, also volatile compounds as ethyl acetate, α - pinene, α- fencheno, ethyl butyrate, camphene, β- pinene, myrcene β-, α- felandreno, α- terpinene, d-limonene, felandreno β-, γ- terpinene, cymene ρ-, terpinolene, fenchol, β- caryophyllene. Thus we have according to the atomic absorption technique identified 14 primary minerals such as: potassium, calcium, m agnesium, sodium, aluminum, boron, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, chlorine, cobalt, cadmium, lead. In addition there are also compounds such as carotenoids, total and individual phenolic compounds, anthocyanin, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, fatty acids and amino acids.Shell the presence of ascorbic acid four types of individual anthocyanidins, total phenolic compounds, anthocyanin and flavonoids was determined.
