Abstract This work aims to determine the phytochemical characterization of the
pericarp of Chamaedorea radicalis Mart. fruit as a non-timber product with
potential to obtain phytochemicals with potential applications in the industry.
Fruit from C. radicalis were grouped in four ripening stages named as S1, S2,
S3 and S4, according to maturity; S1 the most unripe stage and S4 the completely
ripe stage. Determinations of total phenolic compounds, free radical scavenging
activities and total flavonoid contents using spectrophotometric methods were
done. Also, the tentative identification of phytochemicals during fruit ripening
was done using UPLC-MS-MS. Total phenolic compound (TPC) content ranged
