The search for compounds with functional properties from natural sources has grown in recent years as people have developed healthier habits. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the extraction of bioactive compounds from various parts of unripe genipap fruit (Genipa americana L.) by using pressurized ethanol to verify which part of the fruit provides the greatest recovery of the iridoids genipin and geniposide. Two process variables were studied: temperature (50 and 80 degrees C) and pressure (2, 12 and 20 bar). The whole fruit and the peel, mesocarp, endocarp, endocarp + seeds and seeds of the fruit were studied. The endocarp presented with the highest recovery of genipin (48.6 +/- 0.6 mg/g raw material) and the extraction from the mesocarp allowed a greater recovery of geniposide (59 +/- 1 mg/g raw material). The highest values of total phenolic content were obtained with mesocarp extracts. The endocarp and mesocarp extracts presented the highest antioxidant activity as measured by FRAP and DPPH. These results are promising and support the use of unripe genipap fruit as a source of iridoids and natural antioxidants.
