| Summary: | The aim of this study was to evaluate seeds of guava, papaya
and mango for their antioxidant levels and activities (i.e.
primary and secondary); and compared antioxidant levels
and activities in pulps and peels of two species of dragon
fruits, Hylocereus undatus (white dragon fruit) and Hylocereus polyrhizus (red dragon fruit) in order to investigate the possibilities of utilising the selected fruit seeds and peels as commercial nutraceuticals
in the future. |
