“…The three detected sugars are typical of passion fruit [43]. According to Shahbani et al [44], glucose should be 18.00 g/100 g at the 55-to-60-day harvest stage to meet the standard of Brazilian legislation. The taste of passion fruit depends mainly on the individual sugars-glucose and fructose.…”

At present, there are no data in the scientific literature on studies aimed at characterizing Passiflora caerulea L. growing in Bulgaria. The present study aimed to investigate the metabolic profile and elemental composition of the leaves and pulp of this Passiflora, as well as to evaluate the antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of its leaf and pulp extracts. The results showed that the pulp predominantly contained the essential amino acid histidine (7.81 mg g−1), while it was absent in the leaves, with the highest concentration being tryptophan (8.30 mg g−1). Of the fatty acids, palmitoleic acid predominated both in the pulp and in the leaves. A major sterol component was β-sitosterol. Fructose (7.50%) was the predominant sugar in the pulp, while for the leaves, it was glucose—1.51%. Seven elements were identified: sodium, potassium, iron, magnesium, manganese, copper and zinc. The highest concentrations of K and Mg were in the pulp (23,946 mg kg−1 and 1890 mg kg−1) and leaves (36,179 mg kg−1 and 5064 mg kg−1). According to the DPPH, FRAP and CUPRAC methods, the highest values for antioxidant activity were found in 70% ethanolic extracts of the leaves, while for the ABTS method, the highest value was found in 50% ethanolic extracts. In the pulp, for all four methods, the highest values were determined at 50% ethanolic extracts. Regarding the antibacterial activity, the 50% ethanolic leaf extracts were more effective against the Gram-positive bacteria. At the same time, the 70% ethanolic leaf extract was more effective against Gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076. The leaf extracts exhibited higher anti-inflammatory activity than the extracts prepared from the pulp. The obtained results revealed that P. caerulea is a plant that can be successfully applied as an active ingredient in various nutritional supplements or cosmetic products.

“…The total soluble solid content of the mature pulp was found as 14.57 ± 0.33 °Brix and the pH of the pulp and mesocarp was 3.76 ± 0.21 and 5.14 ± 0.02 respectively 4 . Pulp and mesocarp were evaluated, respectively, according to several parameters such as pH (3.76 and 4.76), total soluble solid (15.6 and 6.5 °Brix), total titratable acidity (0.88 and 0.04%), sucrose (28.19 and 13.12 g/kg FW), glucose (43.73 and 17.14 g/kg FW), fructose (39.07 and 16.17 g/kg FW), ascorbic acid (0.22 and 0.07 g/kg FW), and total phenolics compounds (272.96 and 281.67 mg GAE/L FW) 7 …”

“…The best harvest period of this fruit for cooking is 55 days for melon species and 60 days for consumption in natura, both mesocarp and pulp. 4 Many Brazilian communities have used this species as a therapeutic resource based on the infusion of leaves and the macerated fruit to treat high cholesterol and high blood pressure. 5 In traditional Colombian medicine, bathing with a decoction of leaves has also been used to treat snakebites.…”

Bioactive compounds, functional properties, and technological application of Passiflora quadrangularis: A review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of this research was to evaluate the bioactive compounds and functional properties of Passiflora quadrangularis, aiming to contribute to future studies on the elaboration of functional products based on this species. The chemical analysis of flavonoids from the leaves, as well as the chemical composition of fruits (specifically the pericarp) were accessed herein. The functional properties are directly dependent on specific extracts, and the aqueous extract and the flavonoid fraction are responsible for the sedative property. The presence of C‐glycosyl flavonoids is highly reported in the chemical composition, highlighting the vitexin‐2″‐O‐xyloside. Few studies have been focused on this species, and most of them are devoted to the sedative properties of the genus Passiflora spp. However, a review on the main available information on this species is of extreme interest for the research and development of products in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food areas.
