Dragon Fruit: A Fruitful Approach for Healthy Skin
Main Article Content
Abstract
The health-enhancing capacity of pitaya fruit (chemical constituents like Vitamin B2, Vitamin C, iron, high dietary fibre, etc.) stems from its abundance of bioactive elements, associated with a multitude of advantages encompassing anti-aging, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and antimicrobial properties. This array of favourable effects has led to an upsurge in the consumption of this fruit across various global locales. The pitaya fruit holds remedial significance, contributing to the elimination of heavy metal toxins and the reduction of cholesterol and blood pressure. Additionally, the dragon fruit peel exhibits considerable potential as a natural colouring agent. According to there are two kinds of extraction methods; conventional and modern method. The conventional extraction includes maceration, reflux and Soxhlet extraction and the modern extraction includes MAE (Microwave-Assisted Extraction) and UAE (Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction). The recent introduction of dragon fruit into the country has raised significant concerns regarding its quality assurance, particularly pertaining to the critical aspect of appropriate harvest maturity.
