Product Information

This chocolate and lime tart from British Bake-Off contestant John Waite has long been a go-to of mine. Apart from being a food item, a variety of pharmaceutical products based on ingredients have also be developed and used in folk medicine. The principal components of P. edulis include polyphenols, triterpenes, and its glycosides, carotenoids, cyanogenic glycosides, polysaccharides, amino acids, essential oils, microelements, and so forth ( Xu et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2013; Yuan et al., 2017; Hu et al., 2018). Among these compounds, the most reported are luteolin, apigenin, and quercetin derivatives. Most importantly, passion fruit contains nutritionally valuable compounds like vitamin C, dietary fiber, B vitamins, niacin, iron, phosphorus, and so forth. A wide range of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies have revealed various promising bioactivities of P. edulis, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, hepatoprotective and lung-protective activities, anti-diabetic, sedative, antidepressant activity, and anxiolytic-like actions ( Nayak and Panda, 2012; Kinoshita et al., 2013; Silva et al., 2015; Dzotam et al., 2016; Zhang et al., 2016; Panelli et al., 2018). Most of these effects are consistent with those observed for P. edulis in traditional and folk medicine, and these pharmacological actions are thought to be mostly mediated via the existed bioactive components including polyphenol, triterpenes, and polysaccharides. Several researchers have reviewed the botany, chemistry, and pharmacological reports of the Passiflora genus ( Dhawan et al., 2004; Corrêa et al., 2016). However, to date, no comprehensive review concerning the information on the chemical and biological properties of P. edulis is available.

Some people think they taste like pineapple and mango, while others say they have some kiwi and even peach flavors in there. Passion fruit is a tropical fruit that has a low glycemic index (GI) value. This means that it does not cause a steep increase in blood sugar after eating it, making it a good option for people with diabetes. The base for these tasty cupcakes is a blend of coconut milk, passion fruit pulp, and vanilla. So, it’s sweet, creamy, and beautifully moist. Nutrients. Passion fruit also gives your body calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.I’ve mentioned before that I tend to opt for lime over lemon since it’s not usually quite as sour. That’s what I love most about these passion fruit bars.

Vitamin A . Passion fruit's pulp and crunchy seeds have 8% of the vitamin A you need every day. It's a key to healthy eyes and cells, reproduction, and immunity. Pectin, fiber, and polysaccharides are the most common functional ingredients in food products and exert a strong positive influence on human health. The contents of pectin, crude fiber and polysaccharides are 12.5%, 22.1%, and 20.62%, respectively ( Wen et al., 2008). The seed of P. edulis is rich in insoluble dietary fiber (64.1%). After defatting, the insoluble fiber-rich fractions (84.9%–93.3%) including cellulose, pectic substances, and hemicellulose become the predominant components ( Chau and Huang, 2003). GC-MS showed that polysaccharides from the peel of yellow passion fruit are composed of galacturonic acid (44.2%), arabinose (11.8%), glucose (11.8%), maltotriose (10.6%), mannose (9.0%), galactose (6.1%), xylose (3.6%), ribose (1.3%) and fucose (1.6%), and so forth. ( Silva et al., 2012). Meanwhile, yellow passion fruit rind is a good source of naturally low-methoxyl pectin. Polysaccharide from purple passion fruit peel is mainly composed of galacturonic acid (80.32%), glucose (4.65%), ribose (4.41%), galactose (3.84%), arabinose (3.53%), mannose (1.34%), xylose (0.72%) and rhamnose (0.17%), and so forth. We found (1→4)-linked galacturonic acid is the main component of polysaccharides from yellow and purple passion fruit. Diverse studies have demonstrated that pectin and fibers from P. edulis peel can effectively eliminate free radicals such as DPPH and ABTS ( Dos Reis et al., 2018), reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels ( Lacerda-Miranda et al., 2016), and obviously inhibit the growth of sarcoma180 ( Silva et al., 2012), and so forth. Thus, the passion fruit peel may be utilized in the development of new fiber-rich healthy food products. Protein and Amino AcidsAntioxidants play a vital role in keeping the body’s systems healthy. Scientists know that antioxidants improve blood flow, specifically to the brain and nervous system. You’ll know this golf ball-sized fruit is ripe when the purple skin is wrinkly and looking almost shriveled. Use a sharp knife to cut the passion fruit in half. After cutting, hold the halves together so all of the juice doesn’t spill out.
