Carotenoids of the fruit of Averrhoa carambola
Phytochemistry, 1983Abstract The carotenoids of the tropical fruit Averrhoa carambola were investigated and from most of them mass spectra were taken. The total carotenoid content was 22 μg/g fr. wt. The carotenoid pattern was uncommon, the main pigments were phytofluene (17%), ζ-carotene (25%), β-cryptoflavin (34%) and mutatoxanthin (14%).

Mechanisms of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) toxicity: A mini-review
Toxicon, 2020The star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) is consumed in high amounts in Asia and Central/South America. It contains oxalic acid and caramboxin. In some individuals, its ingestion may lead to nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. The nephrotoxic effect is due to oxalate deposition in renal tubules resulting in acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis ...

Phytotoxic Constituents of the Fruits of Averrhoa carambola
Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 2015The agrochemical industry is continuously searching for phytotoxic compounds, including weedicides, herbicides,etc. The continuous use of synthetic phytotoxic compounds may affect nontarget organisms and also cause environmentalpollution problems due to retarded degradation, etc.

[Star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) toxic encephalopathy].
Revue neurologique, 2009Ingestion of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) can induce severe intoxication in subjects with chronic renal failure. Oxalate plays a key role in the neurotoxicity of star fruit. We report the cases of two patients with unknown chronic renal insufficiency who developed severe encephalopathy after ingestion of star fruit.

Two tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids from the fruit of Averrhoa carambola
Phytochemistry Letters, 2014The fruit of Averrhoa carambola, commonly known as star fruit or carambola, is popular in Southeast Asia and China. Two new tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids, (1R*,3S*)-1-(5-hydroxymethylfuran-2-yl)-3-carboxy-6-hydroxy-8-methoxyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (1) and (1S*,3S*)-1-methyl-3-carboxy-6-hydroxy-8-methyoxyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (2),

Three groups of carambola fruits (Averrhoa carambola L.) were stored at 2 and 10 degrees C (85-90% relative humidity). The major physicochemical, physiological, and enzymatic responses of fruit were measured in each group over a 30-day period: chilling injury index (CII), decay (%), intracuticular waxes, cuticle permeability, pulp firmness, weight loss,

Flavonoids isolated from the fresh sweet fruit of Averrhoa carambola , commonly known as star fruit
Phytochemistry, 2018Thirteen flavonoids were isolated from the fresh sweet fruit of Averrhoa carambola L. (Oxalidaceae), commonly known as star fruit, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods. 8-Carboxymethyl-(+)-epicatechin methyl ester, pinobanksin 3-O-β-d-glucoside, and carambolasides M-Q were undescribed structures.

Abstract The variations in bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of carambola (cv. B17) fruit at different ripening stages were investigated. The carambola fruit was harvested from week 9 until week 13. Ascorbic acid (AA), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoids content (TFC), total carotenoids content (TCC), β-carotene, tocopherol ...
