Abstract

Functional nutrition has gained ground in recent years for its therapeutic action, especially the soursop fruit. Several well-conducted studies suggest that the fruit has considerable amounts of minerals, fiber, antioxidants and substances that act against cancer cells, highlighting the action of acetogenins. However it aimed to perform the quantification of the phenolic compounds present in soursop pulp of fresh and frozen and conduct a review of studies that justify the use of soursop in reducing cancer proliferation. They were identified fairly significant amounts of phenolic compounds in the samples of soursop, however no differentiation of treatment or frozen raw. Logo suggests its use in preventing cancer and need further studies for its use in the treatment of cancer patients.
