The fruit of Parmentiera aculeata has been used locally for its medicinal properties, but its bioactive compounds had not been characterized. Thus, to identify and quantify its nutraceutical and nutritional compounds, we used UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and untargeted metabolomics, detecting 725 metabolites, including anticancer compounds (genkwanin, hespiridin, and phenylketaldoxime) and antidiabetics (metformin). We also used HPLC-DAD to quantify the phenolics cyanidin, catechin, and p-coumaric, 4-hydroxybenzoic, gallic and chlorogenic acids (50, 70, 80, 210, 220 and 340 µg g–1 respectively) and GC-MS to analyze the vitamin profile (β-carotene content < 2.7 ng.mg–1). Fructose, glucose and sucrose were quantified by HPLC-ELSD at 3.06, 2.77 and 78.0 mg.100 g–1, respectively. Atomic emission spectra showed the content of K, Ca, P, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn to be 13 261.37, 1 114.77, 1 048.27, 932.06, 300.53, 22.03, 27.27 mg kg–1, respectively. Palmitic, heptadecanoic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, arachidic, linolenic, heneicosanoic, tricosanoic were identified and quantified as the primary fatty acids using a mixture of 37 standards. These findings corroborate the medicinal, nutraceutical and nutritional contributions of this versatile fruit that show their potential as a high value-added edible crop.
