In this study, a standardized freeze-dried acai fruit pulp/skin powder was used for all analyses
and tests. Among many findings, anthocyanins (ACNs), proanthocyanidins (PACs), and other

flavonoids were found to be the major phytochemicals. Two ACNs, cyandin 3-glucoside and

was determined to be 7.59% of total weight. The total sterols accounted for 0.048% by weight of
