Annona muricata Linn.(soursop) belongs to the Annonaceae family. This plant has been traditionally used for the treatment of various infectious and inflammatory diseases. In this study, the effect of storage conditions (room and cold condition) on Annona muricata nutrients was evaluated on the basis of color, vitamin C, polyphenol content and antioxidant activity (DPPH). The change in Lab* brightness (64.34±4.18 a,-4.61±0.31 a, 12.80±0.57 a for fresh sample) was negligible during the 10 day cooling process (66.22±2.33 ab,-0.58±7.89 a, 9.03±0.85 b). These criteria have not changed compared to the original sample after 2 days. The effect of room temperature on properties of Soursop was significant. After 8 and 10 days, it was impossible to quantify TAA, TPC and ABTS of the sample. The values of the two samples (8 and 10 days) at low temperatures were respectively 4.46±0.35 and 3.27±0.33 (TAA); 3.00±0.05 …
