Abstract: The objective of this work was to determine the nutritional quality of blackberry (Rubus sp.) seeds from wild and improved fruits, through chemical analysis. The determinations of the main components: proteins, lipids, humidity, ash content and carbohydrates, were conducted by the AOAC methods. Additionally, the determination of antioxidant phenols and the morphometric analysis of the seeds were conducted. From the results obtained, the wild blackberry seeds presented differences with respect to those of improved cultivation, where the cultivated seed presents 24% less fat, and the morphology between the two varieties presents differences. Both samples have a similar content of fiber (26%) and protein (8%). The total phenol content was different between the samples, with no statistical differences in their antioxidant capacity. Therefore, blackberry seeds can be considered as a bioproduct with nutritional potential.
