Resumo(s)
The food industry plays a critical role in waste production, and new studies that propose
innovative uses to bio-residue are of high importance. Annona cherimola Mill., also known as custard
apple and cherimoya, has been described as a powerful source of bioactive compounds with various
applications, such as antifungal applications. Fungal infection can lead to crop productivity limitation,
product contamination, and food loss. This work evaluates the antifungal action of Annona cherimola
Mill. oils against Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger. The oils were extracted from peel and
seeds of 8 different A. cherimola varieties exclusive to Madeira Island (Portugal) and tested for their
antifungal potential. This fruit waste was tested, using two different growth measurement methods.
The extracted oils restricted the fungi growth, providing the first insights on antifungal properties of
the varieties waste. Between the tested tissues, peel oils exhibited a slight better action over F.
oxysporum than seed oils. Overall colony expansion of F. oxysporum was better controlled by custard
apple oils than A. niger. Anis exhibited distinctive action against A. niger and Funchal, Perry Vidal,
Matteus, and Dona Mécia controlled better F. oxysporum growth, suggesting phytochemical
differences between them. There is no previous research on the biowaste oil extracts from Annona
varieties found in Madeira Island and their properties against pathogens. This study successfully opened new insights on these varieties and the results exposed interesting properties that deserve
further research.
