Antioxidant study of pulps and peels of dragon fruits: a comparative study
The aim of this study is to compare antioxidant level and activities (i.e. primary and secondary) in pulps and peels of two species of dragon fruits, Hylocereus undatus (white dragon fruit) and Hylocereus polyrhizus (red dragon fruit). Total phenolic content (TPC) assay demonstrated that peels o...

| description | The aim of this study is to compare antioxidant level and activities (i.e. primary and secondary)
in pulps and peels of two species of dragon fruits, Hylocereus undatus (white dragon fruit) and Hylocereus
polyrhizus (red dragon fruit). Total phenolic content (TPC) assay demonstrated that peels of both Hylocereus
species contained higher phenolic content than the pulps. The phenolic content in peels of H. undatus was
higher than H. polyrhizus, but the phenolic content in pulps of H. undatus was much lower than H. polyrhizus. 2,
2, diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay showed that radical scavenging activities of peels for both species
were higher than the pulps. For ferrous ion chelating (FIC) assay, peels and pulps of both Hylocereus species
showed moderate metal ion chelating effect as compared to EDTA. Overall, the results suggested that the TPC
showed good relationship with the primary antioxidant activities for general comparison between the peels and
the pulps. |
