Chemical Compositions of Passiflora Edulis Seeds Oil Collected in Vietnam

Abstract

The present research was aimed to study the chemical compositions of Passiflora edulis Sims seeds oil, including the fatty acid profiles, contents of tocopherols, sterols, and triglycerides. The seeds oil yield is 24.88% by using Soxhlet method. Passiflora edulis seeds oil showed high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (89.25%) with main ingredient linoleic acid (w-6, 66.94%) and oleic acid (w-6, 18.86%). Tocopherols (18.04 mg/kg), sterols (2935.35 mg/kg) and triglycerides (monomere TAG, 74.11%) are also determined by using IOC and ISO methods, respectively. The findings demonstrate that P. edulis seeds oil could be used beneficially in the food and cosmetic industries.

Anti‐Alzheimer's Activity of Polyphenolic Stilbene‐Rich Acetone Fraction of the Oil‐Removed Seeds of Passiflora edulis: in Vivo and in Silico Studies

“…There have been many articles published on purple passion fruit (P. edulis Sims) to date. [6][7][8][9] This purple species was imported and is increasingly cultivated in Vietnam, from the north to the south, on over ten thousand hectares in the Son La, Nghe An, and Tay Nguyen areas. [9] The fruits of this plant are typically used to make juice.…”

“…Yellow ( Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa ) and purple ( Passiflora edulis ) are the two most widely cultivated Passiflora species. There have been many articles published on purple passion fruit ( P. edulis Sims) to date [6–9] . This purple species was imported and is increasingly cultivated in Vietnam, from the north to the south, on over ten thousand hectares in the Son La, Nghe An, and Tay Nguyen areas [9] .…”

“…6–12 % of the fruit's weight was comprised of seeds, which are by‐products of the juice industry and potential resources for pharmaceutical applications. The passion fruit seed contains fatty acids, sterols, triglycerides, and tocopherols, [8] as well as a high concentration of various stilbenoids such as trans‐ piceatannol, [11] trans‐ resveratrol, cassigarol E, [8] scirpusin A, and scirpusin B [12] . It has been reported that trans‐ piceatannol and cassigarol E possess potent inhibitory activity on soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) [9] …”

Extraction and Characterization of the Polar Lipid Fraction of Blackberry and Passion Fruit Seeds Oils Using Supercritical Fluid Extraction

“…The 55% of the blackberry production is destined to fresh fruit household consumption, while about 20% is sold to the agroindustry for the preparation of juices, pulps, preserved food fruits candies, and colorants (SIOC 2021). The oil from Passiflora seeds has considerable content of unsaturated fatty acids (Ballesteros-Vivas et al 2019a;Ramaiya et al 2019;Cuong et al 2019;Pantoja-Chamorro et al 2017a) being an important source of these compounds for the cosmetic and food industries (Malacrida and Jorge 2012;Pantoja-Chamorro et al 2017b). The cosmetic industry appreciated the natural products with a high content of linoleic and linolenic acid for the high antioxidant and skincare properties (Urbanavičiūtė et al 2019).…”
