Profiling of lipophilic and phenolic phytochemicals of four cultivars from cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.)

•Kaurane diterpenoids, fatty acids and sterols are the major lipophilic families.•Kaurenoic acid is the most abundant compound (554–1350mgkg−1 of dry mesocarp).•Cherimoya mesocarp shows several galloylated and non-galloylated flavan-3-ols.•‘Mateus I’ and ‘Mateus III’ cultivars have the highest phenolic contents.•Cherimoya fruit is a rich source of valuable phytochemicals in human diet and health.
