Many studies have focused on the effect of fresh fruits on the risk of developing cancer and other diseases in-volved with reactive species and free radicals. The intake of frozen fruits has spread widely in the last years, but, until now,their biological activity is not completely known. In this study, 23 samples of frozen fruits were analyzed for their nutritionalcomposition, total polyphenols, total carotenoids, and vitamin C content. Antioxidant, mutagenic, and antimutagenic effectswere also evaluated. Antioxidant assays included 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH.) scavenging activity and de-termination of superoxide dismutase (SOD)- and catalase (CAT)-like activities. Mutagenic and antimutagenic evaluations wereperformed in eukaryotic cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Most samples (74%) showed antioxidant activity similar tovitamin C in the DPPH.assay, and this activity was positively correlated (r. 0.366; P. .01) with carotenoid contents. Allsamples showed CAT-like activity. SOD-like activity was detected in 56% of samples assayed. Only four fruits (acai, cashewapple, kiwi fruit, and strawberry) showed mutagenic activity when tested in high (5%, 10%, and 15% [wt/vol]) concentra-tions. Twelve samples presented antimutagenic effects against hydrogen peroxide, and this effect was positively correlatedwith CAT-like activity (r. 0.400; P. .01). Evaluation of polyphenols, carotenoids, and ascorbic acid showed considerablelevels of these compounds in frozen fruits, even after freezing. These data suggest that frozen fruits contribute to the pre-vention of biological damages.
