“…Passion fruit contains many health-promoting constituents that could be deemed attractive materials for the production of functional foods or dietary supplements. Several studies have reported that certain varieties of the genus Passiflora have also been used in traditional folk medicines in many countries as a remedy to treat certain diseases due to its many benefits, including antineoplastic, antianxiety, anti-insomnia, anti-inflammatory, , antioxidation, , antihyperlipidemia, and antispasm properties, and has also been used in osteoarthritis therapy . Therefore, studying the chemical and genetic composition of passion fruit is crucial to understanding the coloration and fruit quality and can contribute to increasing the commercial value of passion fruit and to producing a healthier fruit for consumers.…”

Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) can be divided into yellow and purple varieties. However, information about coloration and fruit quality between the two varieties is limited. To reveal the underlying mechanism of color formation in this fruit, a combined analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome was conducted in this study. The results showed that most of the evaluated flavonols, anthocyanins, and flavanols were significantly upregulated in purple fruit compared to their levels in yellow fruit. Flavonoid and flavonoid carbonoside accumulation was markedly higher in yellow fruit than in purple fruit. The accumulation of organic acids, phenolic acids, lipids, sugars, and lignans was significantly different in the yellow and purple varieties. These results were consistent with the results from the RNA-Seq profile. This study will enable us to identify genes for targeted genetic engineering to improve the nutritional and market value of passion fruit. In addition, the peel and pulp of passion fruit contained certain health-promoting compounds, highlighting the potential application of passion fruit as a functional food and providing direction for future breeding programs and production.

“…), an additional shot of antioxidants is required to prevent the damage of important biological molecules (DNA, proteins, and lipids) (Tatay, Espín, García-Fernández, & Ruiz, 2017) and the development of serious diseases (cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, diabetes, etc.) (Carocho & Ferreira, 2013;Da Silva, Cazarin, Batista, & Maróstica, 2014). In addition to well-known dietary antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, carotenoids, some minerals and polyphenols (Jian et al, 2017;Mirończuk-Chodakowska, Witkowska, & Zujko, 2018), peptides have also demonstrated antioxidant properties (García, Puchalska, Esteve, & Marina, 2013).…”

“…Mangosteen pericarp has been found be a good source of polyphenol, and the polyphenols content was higher than that in rambutan peel, passion fruit peel, dragon fruit peel, and pineapple peel [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Therefore, the development and utilization of MPPs are of great significance for the efficient utilization of mangosteen pericarp.…”

The pericarp of mangosteen, a by-product of the mangosteen, is rich in polyphenols. In this study, an efficient and environmentally friendly method for preparative enrichment of polyphenols from mangosteen pericarp (MPPs) was developed, and the inhibitory effects on starch digestion were also evaluated. It was found that the optimal extract method of MPPs was at a solid to solvent ratio of 1:50 g/mL, pH of 2, and at 80 °C for 2 h. The IC50 of MPPs for α-amylase was 0.28 mg/mL. Based on the fluorescence quenching results, we presumed that MPPs could alter the natural structure of α-amylase, resulting in inhibitory activity on α-amylase. In addition, MPPs significantly reduced the blood glucose peak and AUC of glucose responses in rats after ingestion of the starch solution. Taken together, MPPs may have the potential as a functional supplement for blood glucose control and diabetes prevention.
