Abstract: The content of the components of native fruits and how they represent a potential source of nutrients, bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in the nutritional requirement of vulnerable groups were studied: older adults, pregnant mothers and mothers who breastfeed. Three types of fruits from the Andean region of Peru were considered: Aguaymanto (Physalis peruviana), yellow pitahaya (Selenericeus megalanthus) and quito quito (Solanum quitoense). The type of sampling was probabilistic and stratified for convenience, considering an infinite population. For each vulnerable group, the average contribution of the fruits and the theoretical average contribution of a 5-day diet were compared with the IDR10, which represents 10 % of the total requirement of the reference Dietary Intake (IDR) considering that consumption of the fruits represents 10 % of the total food intake per day. To test the hypothesis, a global index was determined as a function of desirability, determined from the geometric mean of the indexes of physicochemical, nutritional, bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of the studied fruits. The Kruskal Wallis non-parametric statistical method was used with a significant level of 0.05, demonstrating that the content of the components of native fruits represent a potential source of nutrients, bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in the nutritional requirement of vulnerable groups.
