Lyophilized and Oven-Dried Manilkara zapota Extracts: Characterization and In Vitro, In Vivo, and In Silico Analyses.

ABSTRACT: In this work, extracts from the pulp, peel, and seed of Manilkara zapota were obtained via lyophilization and oven drying. Bromatological analyses were performed to investigate variabilities in the nutritional content of fruits after nine post-harvest days. The phytochemical content of fruits was assessed by gas chromatography flame ionization detector (GC-FID), and their biological performance was studied using in vitro antibacterial and antioxidant assays (DPPH and ABTS) and in vivo toxicity models. Molecular docking was implemented to evaluate the interaction between polar compounds from chicozapote fruits with receptors involved in the pathogenesis of bacterial strains. Results revealed that water or soluble solids content did not vary after post-harvest. It was de
