Methylxanthine and Flavonoid Contents from Guarana Seeds (Paullinia cupana): Comparison of Different Drying Techniques and Effects of UV Radiation by André Luiz Sampaio da Silva Junior, Madson Moreira Nascimento, Herick Macedo Santos, Ivon Pinheiro Lôbo, Rosilene Aparecida de Oliveira, Raildo Mota de Jesus

“…Our findings indicated that the flavan-3-ols content in sun-dried guarana samples was lower compared to those dried using the alguidar oven, possibly due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from solar energy. Conversely, we observed no significant differences (p>0.05) in the average contents of methylxanthines between the two drying methods. …”
