“…Mooz et al 15 evaluated the crude protein in different varieties of avocado pulp and reported values in the range of 1.1 to 1.8% WB values, which are similar to obtained in this study. Tripathi et al 17 reported values of 0.7 ± 0.0 and 0.8 ± 0.0% WB of crude protein in different cultivars and ripeness stage of papaya pulp, similar to Table 1. It is important to remark here that fruit values of crude protein are low because the fruit in general are not potential sources of proteins.…”

The proximate composition, mineral contents and fatty acid composition of different parts (peel, pulp and seeds) of seven tropical fruits were evaluated. Beyond that, this study aims to evaluate the effect of drying processing on peels. Pulp and peel showed highest moisture values (65.7-93.3%), while the seed ranged from 5.8 to 67.2%. The drying processing of peels decreased moisture values (2.3-18.7%). Furthermore, drying processing did not affect ash contents, total crude protein, lipids and fiber values and fatty acid composition for avocado, pineapple, banana, papaya, passion fruit, watermelon and melon. A wide range of mineral contents was noted in different parts of fruit and calcium and potassium were found in larger quantities (25.4 to 4808 mg per 100 g). The fruits exhibited essential fatty acids as omega-6 and omega-3 with the largest contents observed in the peels and seeds (31.4 to 1970 mg per 100 g).

“…Factors such as the degree of maturation, ripeness and plant cultivar type may affect extract bioactivity (due to variation in the composition and the levels of phytochemicals) (Pablito & Charles 2003;Ayoola & Adeyeye 2010;Tripathi et al 2011). Topical application of the aqueous extracts of unripe fruit (5 mg/ml) exhibited faster wound healing (13 d) in mice than a similar aqueous extract of ripe fruit (17 d) (Anuar et al 2008).…”

Chronic inflammation is linked with the generation and progression of various diseases such as cancer, diabetes and atherosclerosis, and anti-inflammatory drugs therefore have the potential to assist in the treatment of these conditions. Carica papaya is a tropical plant that is traditionally used in the treatment of various ailments including inflammatory conditions. A literature search was conducted by using the keywords ''papaya'', ''anti-inflammatory and inflammation'' and ''immunomodulation and immune'' along with cross-referencing. Both in vitro and in vivo investigation studies were included. This is a review of all studies published since 2000 on the antiinflammatory activity of papaya extracts and their effects on various immune-inflammatory mediators. Studies on the anti-inflammatory activities of recognized phytochemicals present in papaya are also included. Although in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that papaya extracts and papaya-associated phytochemicals possess anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, clinical studies are lacking. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…My research efforts continued on papaya, mainly focusing on transgene flow from Rainbow to neighboring nontransgenic fields (24) and detailed characterization of the transgenic papaya during our efforts to successfully deregulate the transgenic papaya in Japan (7,50,53). Arguably, the Hawaiian transgenic papaya is one of the most well-characterized commercial transgenic crops.…”

This chapter represents a travelog of my life and career and the philosophical points I acquired along the way. I was born on a sugar plantation on the island of Hawaii and early on had a stuttering problem. I attended the Kamehameha Schools and received my BS and MS degrees from the University of Hawaii and my Ph.D. from the University of California at Davis. I link my life and career to various principles and events, some of which are: the importance of positioning oneself; going for the big enchilada; music, the international language; the red zone of biotechnology; the human side of biotechnology; the transgenic papaya story; and my leadership time at USDA in Hawaii. The guiding light throughout my career were the words from Drs. Eduardo Trujillo and Robert Shepherd, respectively, "Dennis, don't just be a test tube scientist, do something to help people" and "
