dc.description.abstractThe lucuma tree (Pouteria lucuma), native to South America, is gaining attention for its unique nutritional profile and potential health benefits. This study aimed to analyze the nutritional composition, antioxidant capacity, and fatty acid profile of lucuma fruit from a high-altitude valley in Bolivia. The proximate analysis revealed high levels of carbohydrates (41.7%), dietary fibre (2.4%), and protein (6.9%). Antioxidant assays identified significant amounts of polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The fruit's fatty acid profile showed a healthy omega-6:omega-3 ratio of 0.21. These results highlight lucuma's potential as a functional food and support further research into its health benefits.
