Exploring Nutritional nd Value-Added Products of Diospyros Melanoxylon (Roxb.) Fruits
Main Article Content
Abstract
Kendu fruits are minor tropical fruit has a unique characteristic. Despite their relatively limited cultivation, consumption, and trade compared to other fruits, Kendu fruits had a remarkable resilience, thriving under adverse climatic conditions. Kendu fruits, with their rich phytochemical constituents, have gained attention for the numerous health benefits they provide. The biochemical contents of Kendu fruits contribute to their potential application in the field of medicine, sparking interest in exploring their therapeutic properties further. To facilitate this, efforts were made to create awareness about the health benefits associated with Kendu fruits. Moreover, exploring avenues for value addition could enhance the appeal of Kendu fruits, making them accessible throughout the entire year. This could involve the development of innovative products such as Kendu fruit jams, juices, or snacks. By diversifying the ways in which Kendu fruits are presented to consumers, there is an opportunity to not only extend their availability but also to cater to a broader audience with varying preferences.
