Antioxidant Activity and Inhibition of Carbohydrate Hydrolyzing Enzymes by Underutilized Parts From Some Plant‐Based Foods and Their Effect on Postprandial Hyperglycemia

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The underutilized parts viz: pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels showed promising antioxidant and inhibition of α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase activities (IC50 values ≤ 100 μg/mL). Similarly, pawpaw seed, banana, plantain, and potato peels reduced postprandial hyperglycemia in sucrose‐ and maltose‐induced hyperglycemia in rats.

MAYPOP (PASSIFLORA INCARNATA L.) AND PASSION FRUIT (PASSIFLORA EDULIS) COMPARED [PDF]

HortScience, 1991
Fruit growth and composition of commercial passion fruit types and maypop were compared. Fruit growth (diameter) of purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims.) and maypop (P. incarnata L.) followed a sigmoidal growth curve. Passion fruit were larger than both greenhouse-grown and wild maypop fruit.

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 54-73, April 2026.
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

From freshness to preservation: insights into processing and storage impacts on purple passion fruit volatilome

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 2139-2153, 15 March 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Purple passion fruit is highly appreciated for its distinctive sweet flavour, low acidity, and aromatic profile, making it a desirable choice for fresh consumption and juice production. To ensure microbiological safety and extend shelf life, juice products typically undergo thermal pasteurization, which can alter their ...

Antioxidant activity ofPassiflora edulissims leaves

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2009
Ethanol extract of Passiflora edulis Sims was analyzed for its antioxidant (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical reducing power methods) and phytochemical analysis. The extract was found effective against the antioxidant test models exhibiting an IC(50) value of 875+/-87.83 mug/ml and showed strong potential antioxidant activity in both assays.

Valorization of the peel and husk of guaraná (Paullinia cupana): oil extraction, chemical composition, cytotoxicity, and antitumor potential

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 879-892, March/April 2026.
Abstract Guaraná (Paullinia cupana) is a fruit native to the Amazon region. Due to its widespread use, primarily in beverages, its production has grown over the years. The seed is the only commercially valuable part of the fruit so the guaraná production chain generates byproducts, including peel, husk, and spent seed.
