“…According to the findings of this study, monkey jack fruit contains a significant amount of ascorbic acid (45.90±1.8 mg.100g -1 ). The value was comparable but higher than that of Bangladeshi monkey jack, which contained 20.86 mg.100g -1 ( FW) [13]. It was, however, very low in comparison to those of other Bangladesh (171.07 mg.100g -1 ) and Tripura (India) (168.44 -182.04 mg.100g -1 ) monkey jack fruit [11,12].…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant capacity, beta-carotene content, ascorbic acid concentration, and other compositional indices of the native but underutilized monkey jack (Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Hamm) fruit. The evaluation was conducted on unripe monkey jack fruits that were almost fully developed. The measurements of monkey jack fruit’s moisture, total soluble solid, and titratable acid were found to be 84.58 0.1%, 10.33 0.7 oBrix, and 3.92 0.6 g.100g-1, respectively. The hue value of 44.653.8, along with the L, a, and b values of 46.602.3, 25.002.3, and 26.131.9, respectively, indicate that the fruit flesh is pink. Using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, the antioxidant activity of monkey jack fruit was determined to be 57.75 1.8 ppm, but the carotenoid and ascorbic acid concentrations were 54.22 1.4 and 45.90 1.8, respectively. This study demonstrated the significant potential of the Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Hamm fruit to serve as a natural source of antioxidant components.

“…Bangladesh, as a part of Vavilov's "Indo-Burma (Myanmar) Centre of Diversity", is rich in plant genetic resources including minor fruits, and a total of 255 underutilized, minor edible fruityielding species, belonging to 149 genera under 61 families, have been reported from this territory (Pasha and Uddin 2019). The minor indigenous fruits are rich in both macro-and microminerals; those help to prevent deficiency symptoms from many nutritional deficiency diseases, particularly in marginal, and communities around urban suburbs of developing countries (Hossain et al 2021). The collection and conservation of minor fruit genetic resources are on the priority list of the Botanical Garden, Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAUBG); on contrary, the fruit morphology and nutritional facts of these species were lesser studied (Hasan et al 2014(Hasan et al , 2016Fakir et al 2018).…”

Nutritional composition of six minor fruits of Bangladesh namely, Annona reticulata L., Manilkara zapota (L.) P.Royen, Aegle marmelos (L.) Corrêa, Diospyros malabarica (Desr.) Kostel., Averrhoa carambola L. and Garcinia pedunculata Roxb. ex Buch-Ham. were studied. Dry matter, ash, crude fat, crude protein, crude fibre and crude carbohydrate contents largely varied among the studied fruits. All fruits exhibited the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, phenols, and saponins. At premature stage, total phenolics and tannin contents varied from 14.59 to 1.32 and from 9.76 to 0.29 (mg GAE g–1 DW), respectively while at mature stage, these ranged from 9.82 to 0.87 and from 5.98 to 0.23. At premature and ripening stages, the maximum chlorophyll content was detected in A. reticulata and M. zapota, respectively. Based on the calorific value, Garcinia pedunculata performed better followed by M. zapota, and A. carambola the least among the studied fruits; although, A. reticulata possesses the largest amount of crude protein and crude fibre.

“…Fruits are known to be rich source of antioxidants, soluble fiber, nutrients, phenols, flavones, vitamins, and minerals. Low intake of fruits is connected with unhealthy diets and several chronic illnesses such as aging, cancer, and cardiovascular disease ( 1 ). Edible wild fruits or underutilized fruits serve an important role in augmenting people’s diets, particularly in rural and tribal areas.…”

Bioactivity and nutritional quality of nutgall (Rhus semialata Murray), an underutilized fruit of Manipur

et al. 2023

IntroductionUnderutilized fruits plays a significant role in socio economic, cultural, nutritional and ethnomedicinal status of tribal people. However, scientific studies on the nutritional and other pharmaceuticals/biological activities of these fruits are meagre. Hence, the present study dealt with the quantification of nutritional quality and deciphering the bioactivity of nutgall (Rhus semialata Murray syn. Rhus chinensis Mill.), an underutilized fruit crop mainly found in foothill tracks of Eastern Himalaya, India, China, Japan, Korea and other South East Asian countries.MethodsThe Rhus semialata Murray fruits were collected from five different locations in Purul sub-division, Senapati district, Manipur, India. The nutritional composition of the fruit pulp was analysed. Further the fruit pulp was extracted in methanol and water. The methanol and water extracts were studied for bioactivity properties such as antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, antihypertensive, antihyperuricemia, anti-tyrosinase, and antimicrobial activity.Results and discussionThe fruit was rich in essential fatty acids. The presence of linoleic and oleic acids, along with traces of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapantaenoic acid, revealed the potential food value of the fruit. 59.18% of the total amino acid composition of the protein present was constituted by essential amino acids. The IC50 value of methanolic extract (MExt) and Water extract (WExt) of the fruit were recorded as 4.05 ± 0.22 and 4.45 ± 0.16 μg/mL, respectively, in the DPPH assay and 5.43 ± 0.37 and 11.36 ± 2.9 μg/mL, respectively, in the ABTS assay as compared to Ascorbic acid (3 and 5.4 μg/mL in DPPH and ABTS assay, respectively). The CUPRAC assay also showed a high antioxidant potential of MExt and WExt (1143.84 ± 88.34 and 456.53 ± 30.02 mg Ascorbic Acid Equivalent/g, respectively). MExt and WExt of the fruit were more active against α-glucosidase (IC50 of 1.61 ± 0.34 and 7.74 ± 0.54 μg/ mL, respectively) than α-amylase enzyme (IC50 14.15 ± 0.57 and 123.33 ± 14.7 μg/mL, respectively). In addition, the methanolic fruit extract showed low to moderate pharmacological potential in terms of antihypertensive (Angiotensin converting enzyme-I inhibition), antihyperuricemia (xanthine oxidase inhibition), anti-tyrosinase, and antimicrobial activity. The IC50 values of angiotensin-converting enzyme I inhibition, xanthine oxidase inhibition and tyrosinase inhibition were recorded as 13.35 ± 1.21 mg/mL, 93.16 ± 4.65 mg/mL, and 862.7 ± 12.62 μg/mL, respectively. The study evidently indicates that nutgall fruit is a potential source of phytonutrients, bestowed with commercially exploitable, multifaceted health benefits
